Some IDT NTB-capable PCIe-switches have message registers to communicate with
peer devices. This patch adds new NTB API callback methods, which can be used
to utilize these registers functionality:
ntb_msg_count(); - get number of message registers
ntb_msg_inbits(); - get bitfield of inbound message registers status
ntb_msg_outbits(); - get bitfield of outbound message registers status
ntb_msg_read_sts(); - read the inbound and outbound message registers status
ntb_msg_clear_sts(); - clear status bits of message registers
ntb_msg_set_mask(); - mask interrupts raised by status bits of message
registers.
ntb_msg_clear_mask(); - clear interrupts mask bits of message registers
ntb_msg_read(midx, *pidx); - read message register with specified index,
additionally getting peer port index which data received from
ntb_msg_write(midx, pidx); - write data to the specified message register
sending it to the passed peer device connected over a pidx port
ntb_msg_event(); - notify driver context of a new message event
Of course there is hardware which doesn't support Message registers, so
this API is made optional.

Multi-port NTB devices permit to share a memory between all accessible peers.
Memory Windows API is altered to correspondingly initialize and map memory
windows for such devices:
ntb_mw_count(pidx); - number of inbound memory windows, which can be allocated
for shared buffer with specified peer device.
ntb_mw_get_align(pidx, widx); - get alignment and size restriction parameters
to properly allocate inbound memory region.
ntb_peer_mw_count(); - get number of outbound memory windows.
ntb_peer_mw_get_addr(widx); - get mapping address of an outbound memory window
If hardware supports inbound translation configured on the local ntb port:
ntb_mw_set_trans(pidx, widx); - set translation address of allocated inbound
memory window so a peer device could access it.
ntb_mw_clear_trans(pidx, widx); - clear the translation address of an inbound
memory window.
If hardware supports outbound translation configured on the peer ntb port:
ntb_peer_mw_set_trans(pidx, widx); - set translation address of a memory
window retrieved from a peer device
ntb_peer_mw_clear_trans(pidx, widx); - clear the translation address of an
outbound memory window

There is some NTB hardware, which can combine more than just two domains
over NTB. For instance, some IDT PCIe-switches can have NTB-functions
activated on more than two-ports. The different domains are distinguished
by ports they are connected to. So the new port-related methods are added to
the NTB API:
ntb_port_number() - return local port
ntb_peer_port_count() - return number of peers local port can connect to
ntb_peer_port_number(pdix) - return port number by it index
ntb_peer_port_idx(port) - return port index by it number
Current test-drivers aren't changed much. They still support two-ports devices
for the time being while multi-ports hardware drivers aren't added.
By default port-related API is declared for two-ports hardware.
So corresponding hardware drivers won't need to implement it.

Abstract the NTB device behind a programming interface, so that it can
support different hardware and client drivers.
