+==============================================
+DSDT - Differentiated system Description Table
+==============================================
+
+This table describes what peripherals a machine has.
+
+This table's UIDs for CXL devices - specifically host bridges, must be
+consistent with the contents of the CEDT, otherwise the CXL driver will
+fail to probe correctly.
+
+Example Compute Express Link Host Bridge ::
+
+ Scope (_SB)
+ {
+ Device (S0D0)
+ {
+ Name (_HID, "ACPI0016" /* Compute Express Link Host Bridge */) // _HID: Hardware ID
+ Name (_CID, Package (0x02) // _CID: Compatible ID
+ {
+ EisaId ("PNP0A08") /* PCI Express Bus */,
+ EisaId ("PNP0A03") /* PCI Bus */
+ })
+ ...
+ Name (_UID, 0x05) // _UID: Unique ID
+ ...
+ }
