r357614 added CTLFLAG_NEEDGIANT to make it easier to find nodes that are
still not MPSAFE (or already are but aren’t properly marked).
Use it in preparation for a general review of all nodes.
This is non-functional change that adds annotations to SYSCTL_NODE and
SYSCTL_PROC nodes using one of the soon-to-be-required flags.
Mark all obvious cases as MPSAFE. All entries that haven't been marked
as MPSAFE before are by default marked as NEEDGIANT

This patch is the driver for NTB hardware in AMD SoCs (ported from Linux)
and enables the NTB infrastructure like Doorbells, Scratchpads and Memory
window in AMD SoC. This driver has been validated using ntb_transport and
if_ntb driver already available in FreeBSD.

It allows application driver get initial link state without racing with
hardware interrupts, thanks to the context rmlock held here.

New design allows hardware resources to be split between several consumers.
For example, one BAR can be dedicated for remote memory access, while other
resources can be used for packet transport for virtual Ethernet interface.
And even without resource split, this code allows to specify which consumer
driver should attach the hardware.
From some points this makes the code even closer to Linux one, even though
Linux does not provide the described flexibility.
This follows NTB subsystem modularization in Linux, tuning it to FreeBSD
native NewBus interfaces. This change allows to support different types
of hardware with different drivers, support multiple NTB instances in a
system, ntb_transport module use for needs other then if_ntb, etc.
