Add support for new Intel NTB devices on upcoming Xeon hardware. Since
the Xeon hardware design is already in place in the driver, all that is
needed are the new device ids.
Remove the device IDs for NTB devs running in Transparent Bridge mode,
as this driver is not being used for those devices.
Rename the device IDs for NTB devs running in NTB-RP mode to better
identify their usage model. "PS" to denote the Primary Side of NTB, and
"SS" to denote the secondary side. The primary side is the interface
exposed to the local system, and the secondary side is the interface
exposed to the remote system.

The BWD NTB device will drop the link if an error is encountered on the
point-to-point PCI bridge. The link will stay down until all errors are
cleared and the link is re-established. On link down, check to see if
the error is detected, if so do the necessary housekeeping to try and
recover from the error and reestablish the link.
There is a potential race between the 2 NTB devices recovering at the
same time. If the times are synchronized, the link will not recover and the
driver will be stuck in this loop forever. Add a random interval to the
recovery time to prevent this race.

There is a Xeon hardware errata related to writes to SDOORBELL or
B2BDOORBELL in conjunction with inbound access to NTB MMIO Space, which
may hang the system. To workaround this issue, use one of the memory
windows to access the interrupt and scratch pad registers on the remote
system. This bypasses the issue, but removes one of the memory windows
from use by the transport. This reduction of MWs necessitates adding
some logic to determine the number of available MWs.
Since some NTB usage methodologies may have unidirectional traffic, the
ability to disable the workaround via modparm has been added.

Debugfs was setup in NTB to only have a single debugfs directory. This
resulted in the leaking of debugfs directories and files when multiple
NTB devices were present, due to each device stomping on the variables
containing the previous device's values (thus preventing them from being
freed on cleanup). Correct this by creating a secondary directory of
the PCI BDF for each device present, and nesting the previously existing
information in those directories.

If an error is encountered in ntb_device_setup, it is possible that the
spci_cmd isn't populated. Writes to the offset can result in a NULL
pointer dereference. This issue is easily encountered by running in
NTB-RP mode, as it currently is not supported and will generate an
error. To get around this issue, return if an error is encountered
prior to attempting to write to the spci_cmd offset.

If the NTB link toggles, the driver could stop receiving due to the
tx_index not being set to 0 on the transmitting size on a link-up event.
This is due to the driver expecting the incoming data to start at the
beginning of the receive buffer and not at a random place.

Each link-up will allocate a new NTB receive buffer when the NTB
properties are negotiated with the remote system. These allocations did
not check for existing buffers and thus did not free them. Now, the
driver will check for an existing buffer and free it if not of the
correct size, before trying to alloc a new one.

If the NTB client driver enqueues the maximum number of rx buffers, it
will not be able to re-enqueue another in its callback handler due to a
lack of free entries. This can be avoided by adding the current entry
to the free queue prior to calling the client callback handler. With
this change, ntb_netdev will no longer encounter a rx error on its first

A PCI-Express non-transparent bridge (NTB) is a point-to-point PCIe bus
connecting 2 systems, providing electrical isolation between the two subsystems.
A non-transparent bridge is functionally similar to a transparent bridge except
that both sides of the bridge have their own independent address domains. The
host on one side of the bridge will not have the visibility of the complete
memory or I/O space on the other side of the bridge. To communicate across the
non-transparent bridge, each NTB endpoint has one (or more) apertures exposed to
the local system. Writes to these apertures are mirrored to memory on the
remote system. Communications can also occur through the use of doorbell
registers that initiate interrupts to the alternate domain, and scratch-pad
registers accessible from both sides.
The NTB device driver is needed to configure these memory windows, doorbell, and
scratch-pad registers as well as use them in such a way as they can be turned
into a viable communication channel to the remote system. ntb_hw.[ch]
determines the usage model (NTB to NTB or NTB to Root Port) and abstracts away
the underlying hardware to provide access and a common interface to the doorbell
registers, scratch pads, and memory windows. These hardware interfaces are
exported so that other, non-mainlined kernel drivers can access these.
ntb_transport.[ch] also uses the exported interfaces in ntb_hw.[ch] to setup a
communication channel(s) and provide a reliable way of transferring data from
one side to the other, which it then exports so that "client" drivers can access
them. These client drivers are used to provide a standard kernel interface
(i.e., Ethernet device) to NTB, such that Linux can transfer data from one
system to the other in a standard way.
