This one I get.  There are things we'd love to standardize but often they
need proving in a generation of hardware before the data is available to
justify taking it to a standards body.  Stuff like performance stats.
This stuff will all sit in the vendor defined range.  Maybe there is an
argument for in driver hooks to allow proper support even for these
(Ben mentioned this in the other branch of the thread).

For 2, could just have a convenient place to enable this by one line patch.
Some subsystems (SPI comes to mind) do this for their equivalent of raw
commands.  The code is all there to enable it but you need to hook it
up if you want to use it.  Avoids chance of a distro shipping it.

Perhaps I'm missing reading this point 2 (not sure the code actually does it!)

As stated what worries me as it means when we add support for a new
bit of the spec we just broke the userspace ABI.

A few trivial things inline,

Given we are mixing generic calls like security_locked_down()
and local cxl specific ones like this one, prefix the
local versions.

cxl_is_security_command()

I'd also have a slight preference to do it for cxl_disabled_raw_commands
and cxl_raw_allow_all though they are less important as more obviously
local by not being function calls.

Shuffle this back to the place it was introduced to reduce patch noise.
