The 4-way XOR region as defined in this test uses a root decoder that
is created using an improperly defined CFMWS. The problem with the
CFMWS is that Host Bridges repeat in the target list like this:
{ 0, 1, 0, 1 }.

Stop using that root decoder and create a 4-way XOR region using an
x2 root decoder that supports XOR arithmetic.

The test passes prior to this patch but there is an interleave check [1]
introduced in the CXL region driver that will expose the bad interleave
this test creates via dev_dbg() messages like this:

[ ] cxl_core:cxl_region_attach:1808: cxl decoder17.0: Test 
cxl_calc_interleave_pos(): fail test_pos:4 cxled->pos:2
[ ] cxl_core:cxl_region_attach:1808: cxl decoder18.0: Test 
cxl_calc_interleave_pos(): fail test_pos:5 cxled->pos:3

Note that the CFMWS's are defined in the kernel cxl-test module, so a
kernel patch removing the bad CFMWS will also need to be merged, but
that cleanup can follow this patch. Also note that the bad CFMWS is not
used in the default cxl-test environment. It is only visible when the
cxl-test module is loaded using the param interleave_arithmetic=1. It is
a special config that provides the XOR math CFMWS's for this test.

Vishal - I'm hoping you will merge this in ndctl v79 even though the
exposure with the kernel doesn't happen until kernel 6.7. This way
users of cxl-test are not learning to ignore the interleave calc
warnings.

Also, hopefully I have not introduced any new shell issues, but
I know this unit test has existing warnings. Can we do a shell
cleanup in a follow-on patchset across the CXL tests?
(and not last minute for your ndctl release)
