Inject poison using QMP command cxl-inject-poison to add an entry to the
poison list.

For now, the poison is not returned CXL.mem reads, but only via the
mailbox command Get Poison List. So a normal memory read to an address
that is on the poison list will not yet result in a synchronous exception
(and similar for partial cacheline writes).
That is left for a future patch.

See CXL rev 3.0, sec 8.2.9.8.4.1 Get Poison list (Opcode 4300h)

Kernel patches to use this interface here:

To inject poison using QMP (telnet to the QMP port)
{ "execute": "qmp_capabilities" }

{ "execute": "cxl-inject-poison",
    "arguments": {
         "path": "/machine/peripheral/cxl-pmem0",
         "start": 2048,
         "length": 256
    }
}

Adjusted to select a device on your machine.

Note that the poison list supported is kept short enough to avoid the
complexity of state machine that is needed to handle the MORE flag.
