So I'm not super all over the putting all sorts of code inside CONFIG_CXL_EEH,
I understand that there is another driver being merged and they'll use
CONFIG_CXL_EEH so that both this driver and the other driver can go in the same
merge window but does this mean you need to put it around everything here?

I may have misunderstood what you've told me but if the other driver depends on
work done in this one (and not the other way around), if they depend on
CONFIG_CXL_EEH which you create in the last patch, then they cannot be built
until this series exists, so they can't have issues.

The one catch is that this series as is waits untill the last patch to actually
create the symbol, and therefore compile everything so lets be sure you don't
break bisecting. You might need to rethink the order of things in 8/10 and 9/10,
I can't see anything obvious if it helps...
