Documentation describes 5 new parameters being added regarding SR-IOV:
sriov_max_vfs
sriov_vq_flexible
sriov_vi_flexible
sriov_max_vi_per_vf
sriov_max_vq_per_vf
The description also includes the simplest possible QEMU invocation
and the series of NVMe commands required to enable SR-IOV support.

Paolo Bonzini requested this change to simplify the ongoing
effort to allow machine setup entirely via RPC.
Includes shortening the command line form cxl-fixed-memory-window
to cxl-fmw as the command lines are extremely long even with this
change.
The json change is needed to ensure that there is
a CXLFixedMemoryWindowOptionsList even though the actual
element in the json is never used. Similar to existing
SgxEpcProperties.
Update qemu-options.hx to reflect that this is now a -machine
parameter. The bulk of -M / -machine parameters are documented
under machine, so use that in preference to M.
Update cxl-test and bios-tables-test to reflect new parameters.

Provide an introduction to the main components of a CXL system,
with detailed explanation of memory interleaving, example command
lines and kernel configuration.
This was a challenging document to write due to the need to extract
only that subset of CXL information which is relevant to either
users of QEMU emulation of CXL or to those interested in the
implementation. Much of CXL is concerned with specific elements of
the protocol, management of memory pooling etc which is simply
not relevant to what is currently planned for CXL emulation
in QEMU. All comments welcome

We add 'format=raw' to the various -drive options in the code
examples, because QEMU will print warnings these days if you
