4490696b3e Once more refactor KPI between NTB hardware and consumers.
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.

9a5325c205 NewBus'ify NTB subsystem.
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.
