Compute Express Link: Linux Conventions
#######################################

There exists shipping platforms that bend or break CXL specification
expectations. Record the details and the rationale for those deviations.
Borrow the ACPI Code First template format to capture the assumptions
and tradeoffs such that multiple platform implementations can follow the
same convention.

Annotation

• Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / Documentation.
• Implementation status: atlas-only.

Implementation Notes

• This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
• Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
• Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
