Ensure that cxl_acpi has published CXL Window resources before dax_hmem
walks Soft Reserved ranges.
Replace MODULE_SOFTDEP("pre: cxl_acpi") with an explicit, synchronous
request_module("cxl_acpi"). MODULE_SOFTDEP() only guarantees eventual
loading, it does not enforce that the dependency has finished init
before the current module runs. This can cause dax_hmem to start before
cxl_acpi has populated the resource tree, breaking detection of overlaps
between Soft Reserved and CXL Windows.
Also, request cxl_pci before dax_hmem walks Soft Reserved ranges. Unlike
cxl_acpi, cxl_pci attach is asynchronous and creates dependent devices
that trigger further module loads. Asynchronous probe flushing
(wait_for_device_probe()) is added later in the series in a deferred
context before dax_hmem makes ownership decisions for Soft Reserved
ranges.
