How about more context for the unfamiliar because my first lookup was
what's an 'abstract distance'? (not sure I even got it right below ;))

An abstract distance value must be assigned by the driver that makes
the memory available to the system. It reflects relative performance
and is used to place memory nodes backed by CXL regions in the appropriate
memory tiers allowing promotion/demotion within the existing memory tiering
mechanism.

etc ?  
I think the latency and bandwidth were already calculated, so you
don't need to explain those. Perhaps drop the whole 'While in turn
come from..." part.

a bit below...

I believe it's OK to send a resource_size_t to phys_to_target_node()
like this:
