Hi Alison,

I re-check my machine, and I make cxl-security,sh work now, I missed to install keyutils.
And I do have CONFIG_TRACING turned on, cxl-poison.sh won't work on my machine because
the alignment problem.

On my machine
is_unaligned region2 3
addr=105491107676160
align=805306368
do_skip 'unaligned region not available for testing'

105491107676160 is exactly 805306368 * 130995, so the x3 XOR region lands aligned and there's nothing
unaligned to translate against.

cxl_test anchors its pool at "min(iomem_resource.end + 1 - SZ_64G, mappable.end + 1 - SZ_64G)"

so the window base follows the host memory gap, and no module param moves it.

I'm not sure this is really my setup's environment issue or in fact a test gap ?
If it's the latter I would be happt to fix it in a follow up patch.

Both run_poison_test() rounds pass, so I think everything this series touches is covered, only the unaligned
translation section is unreachable, and this series doesn't touch translation.

Personally I think this is enough prove of test for the serie ? what do you think ?

Best regards,
Richard Cheng.
