When the driver finds legacy DVSEC ranges active on a CXL Memory Expander it indicates that platform firmware is not aware of, or is deliberately disabling common CXL 2.0 operation. In this case Linux generally has no choice, but to leave the device alone. The driver attempts to validate that the DVSEC range is in the EFI memory map. Remove that logic since there is no requirement that the BIOS publish DVSEC ranges in the EFI Memory Map. In the future the driver will want to permanently reserve this capacity out of the available CFMWS capacity and hide it from request_free_mem_region(), but it serves no purpose to warn about the range not appearing in the EFI Memory Map.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
