[PATCH 02/14] cxl: Add cxl_slot_is_supported API

From: Ian Munsie <imunsie at au1.ibm.com>

This extends the check that the adapter is in a CAPI capable slot so
that it may be called by external users in the kernel API. This will be
used by the upcoming Mellanox CX4 support, which needs to know ahead of
time if the card can be switched to cxl mode so that it can leave it in
PCI mode if it is not.

This API takes a parameter to check if CAPP DMA mode is supported, which
it currently only allows on P8NVL systems, since that mode currently has
issues accessing memory < 4GB on P8, and we cannot realistically avoid
that.

This API does not currently check if a CAPP unit is available (i.e. not
already assigned to another PHB) on P8. Doing so would be racy since it
is assigned on a first come first serve basis, and so long as CAPP DMA
mode is not supported on P8 we don't need this, since the only
anticipated user of this API requires CAPP DMA mode.
