This is the last e26a5843 patch. The general thrust of the rewrite was
to move more responsibility for Memory Window and Doorbell interrupt
management from the ntb_hw driver to if_ntb.
A number of APIs have been added, removed, or replaced. The old
DB callback mechanism has been excised. Instead, callers (if_ntb) are
responsible for configuring MWs and handling their interrupts more
directly.
This adds a tunable, hw.ntb.max_mw_size, allowing users to limit the
size of memory windows used by if_ntb (identical to the Linux modparam
of the same name).
Despite attempts to keep mechanical name changes to separate commits,
some have snuck in here. At least the driver should be much more
similar to the latest Linux one now -- making porting fixes easier.

No functional change. Part of the huge rewrite (e26a5843).

This Linux commit was more or less a rewrite. Unfortunately, the commit
log does not give a lot of context for the rewrite. I have tried to
faithfully follow the changes made upstream, including matching function
names where possible, while churning the FreeBSD driver as little as
possible.
This is the bulk of the rewrite. There are two groups of changes to
follow in separate commits: fleshing out the rest of the changes to
xeon_setup_b2b_mw(), and some changes to if_ntb.
Yes, this is a big patch (3 files changed, 416 insertions(+), 237
deletions(-)), but the Linux patch was 13 files changed, 2,589
additions(+) and 2,195 deletions(-).
Original Linux commit log:
Change ntb_hw_intel to use the new NTB hardware abstraction layer.
Split ntb_transport into its own driver. Change it to use the new NTB
hardware abstraction layer.

No functional change.
Still part of the huge e26a5843 rewrite. I'm trying to make it less of
a complete rewrite in the FreeBSD version of the driver. Still, it
helps if our names match Linux.

On the Haswell platform, a split BAR option to allow creation of 2 32bit
BARs (4 and 5) from the 64bit BAR 4. Adding support for this new option.

This is a follow-up to r289208: "Xeon Errata Workaround."
Add logic to support a variable number of memory windows and doorbell
callbacks. This was added to the Linux driver in the "Xeon Errata
Workaround" commit, but I skipped it because it didn't look neccessary
at the time. It is needed for future Haswell split-BAR support, so
bring it in now.
A new tunable was added for if_ntb, 'hw.ntb.max_num_clients'. By
default, it is set to zero -- infer the number of clients from the
number of memory windows available from the hardware. Any other
positive value can specify a different number of clients, limited by the
number of doorbell callbacks available (4 under MSI-X, or 15 (Xeon) or
34 (SoC) under legacy INTx).

Many variable names in the NTB driver refer to the primary or secondary
side. However, these variables will be used to access the reverse case
when in NTB-RP mode. Make these names more generic in anticipation of
NTB-RP support.

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.

The NTB allows you to connect two systems with this device using a PCI-e
link. The driver is made of two modules:
- ntb_hw which is a basic hardware abstraction layer for the device.
- if_ntb which implements the ntb network device and the communication
protocol.
The driver is limited at the moment to CPU memcpy instead of using DMA, and
only Back-to-Back mode is supported. Also the network device isn't full
featured yet. These changes will be coming soon. The DMA change will also
bring in the ioat driver from the project branch it is on now.
This is an initial port of the GPL/BSD Linux driver contributed by Jon Mason
from Intel. Any bugs are my contributions.
