> Unsurprisingly, in a PowerVM guest ctx->afu->adapter->native is NULL, and
> guests don't have a cxl_service_layer_ops struct anywhere.

> Move min_pe from struct cxl_service_layer_ops to struct cxl so it's
> accessible in both native and PowerVM environments. For the Mellanox CX-4,
> set the min_pe value in set_sl_ops().
