GB200 systems with B3240 DPUs require the CPU as Root Complex profile before HBN starts. Select it only for a GB200 rack when the DPU part number exactly matches one of the three supported B3240 products, then carry the versioned selection through the cloud-init contract. Apply all 18 settings after bfcfg and stop provisioning when the MST device is missing or mlxconfig fails. The existing host cold power cycle activates the settings. Custom cloud-init remains a complete override and bypasses generated platform setup. Signed-off-by: Chet Nichols III <chetn@nvidia.com>

Document the exact hardware contract for the GB200/B3240 profile.
The enum comments do not state the exact DPU part-number allowlist or the no-profile behavior for other hardware.

As per path instructions: public enum and field contracts must document UNSPECIFIED/omitted behavior and supported GB200/B3240 behavior.

Picking #5468 here produced 27 conflict hunks with single hunks over 500 lines, and its immediate predecessor #5457 conflicts in another 25, so the DPF variant needs a deliberately scoped DPF-stack backport rather than a hand-merge of a provisioning-critical crate. **Five conflicts, all from code this branch does not carry.** `crates/rpc/proto/forge.proto` and its `rest-api` mirror took only #5444's `DpuNvConfigProfile` enum, leaving out the `InterfaceAddressConfig` message from the IPv6 work. `handlers/client_resolution.rs` kept this branch's `use db;` and `traffic_intercept_bridging` binding and left out the `OverlayAddressOwner` block and four unrelated imports. `pxe/src/routes/cloud_init.rs` took the two `forge_dpu_nvconfig_parameters` entries and left the `forge_hbn_reps` representor changes alone. `tests/client_resolution.rs` took only #5444's resolution test, leaving out two hostname tests and a `resolve_machine_interface_for_test` rename that does not exist here. **The generated Go was regenerated, not merged.** `rest-api/proto/core/gen/v1/nico_nico.pb.go` conflicted in 22 hunks, but `core-proto-fetch` derives it from `crates/rpc/proto/forge.proto`, so resolving that one source file and running `make -C rest-api core-proto` produced the bindings directly. The large line count in that file is generator reflow; the semantic change is the added enum.

Summary
GB200 systems with supported B3240 DPUs require NVIDIA's CPU as Root Complex NVConfig profile before HBN starts. Without that platform configuration, Linux can expose the wrong physical function layout and HBN can bind both uplinks to the same physical port.
The fixed profile follows NVIDIA's CPU as Root Complex recipe. The validated GB200 configuration deliberately uses
PCI_BUS00_SPEED=5; NVIDIA's generic example uses4.This change selects the fixed, versioned profile only when:
900-9D3B6-00CN-AB0,900-9D3B6-00SN-AB0, or900-9D3B6-00CN-PA0.Part numbers are matched after trimming surrounding whitespace and ignoring ASCII letter case. Missing identity and all other hardware receive no additional NVConfig profile.
The generated DPU cloud-init applies all 18 settings after
bfcfg:Matching hardware stops provisioning if no MST configuration device is available or if
mlxconfigfails. The existing Non-DPF reprovisioning sequence then forces the host off and powers it back on, providing the cold power cycle required to activate the settings.Related issues

Testing
In addition to unit and integration tests, this was tested end to end in dev and QA environments by two different engineers, and the applied settings verified to be working.
