Subject: linux-next: manual merge of the cxl tree with the tip tree

Hi all,

Today's linux-next merge of the cxl tree got a conflict in:

  arch/x86/kernel/e820.c

between commits:

  44f732f3ec827 ("x86/boot/e820: Clean up confusing and self-contradictory verbiage around E820 related resource allocations")
  dc043d6463bf5 ("x86/boot/e820: Standardize e820 table index variable names under 'idx'")

from the tip tree and commit:

  bc62f5b308cbd ("dax/hmem, e820, resource: Defer Soft Reserved insertion until hmem is ready")

from the cxl tree.

I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary. This
is now fixed as far as linux-next is concerned, but any non trivial
conflicts should be mentioned to your upstream maintainer when your tree
is submitted for merging.  You may also want to consider cooperating
with the maintainer of the conflicting tree to minimise any particularly
complex conflicts.
