The CXL RAS Header Log is 64 bytes, but CXL_HEADERLOG_SIZE is SZ_512,
which is 512 bytes, not 512 bits, so the kernel treats it as 8x times
bigger.

header_log_copy() reads 448 bytes of MMIO past the register, and
cxl_*_aer_uncorrectable_error() tracepoints memcpy 512 bytes from the
64-byte header log. On the CPER path the source is a heap object, so the
copy runs 448 bytes past it and leaks kernel memory into a trace record
that userspace can read:

"""

Define CXL_HEADERLOG_SIZE as SZ_64. The trace record's header_log field
shrinks from 128 to 16 dwords, but only those 16 were ever real data,
the rest was always junk.
