Summary of the Change

Add “Compute Express Link Root Object” enumeration value to the ACPI Device IDs Table (5.160).

Benefits of the Change

Compute Express Link (CXL) is a new high-speed CPU-to-Device and CPU-to- Memory interconnect. The new ACPI Device ID represents a singleton device that allows the OSPM to trigger the enumeration of the CXL.mem address space, and indicates the presence of cross Host Bridge (ACPI0016) interleaved CXL.mem resources.

Impact of the Change

One new row added to the ACPI Device IDs table (5.160).
