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.
Calling it earlier increases the window when MSIX info may change.
This change does not solve the problem completely, but seems logical.
Complete solution should probably include link reset in case of MSIX
remap to trigger new negotiation, but we have no way to get notified
about that now.
I don't know what errata is mentioned there, I was unable to find it, but
setting limit before the base simply does not work at all. According to
specification attempt to set limit out of the present window range resets
it to zero, effectively disabling it. And that is what I see in practice.
Fixing this properly disables access for remote side to our memory until
respective xlat is negotiated and set. As I see, Linux does the same.
For some reason hack with sending MSI-X interrupts by writing to remote
LAPIC memory works only for 32-bit BARs, that are available only if split
BARs mode is enabled in BIOS. If it is not, complain loudly and fall back
to less efficient workaround.
This allows at least first three doorbells to work very close to normal
hardware, properly signaling events to upper layers without spurious or
lost events. Doorbells above the first three may still report spurious
events due to lack of reliable information, but they are rarely used.
It is odd idea to serialize different MSI-X vectors. Use of rmlocks
here allows them to execute in parallel, but still protects ctx.
If upper layers require any additional serialization -- they can
do it by themselves.
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.

Since SBARxSZ register can be write-once, it can be unusable for disabling
the SBAR. For such case also set SBARxBASE to zero to not intersect with
config BAR.
BAR size to 1MB. According to Xeon v3 specifications and my tests, that
size register is write-once and so not writeable after BIOS written it.
Instead of that, make the code work with BAR of any sufficient size,
properly calculating offset within its base. It also simplifies the code.

This patch comes from Dave Jiang's Linux tree, davejiang/ntb. It hasn't
been accepted into Linus' tree, so I do not have an authoritative SHA1
to point at. Original commit log:
=====================================================================
A hardware errata causes the NTB to hang when heavy bi-directional
traffic in addition to the usage of BAR0/1 (where the registers reside,
including the doorbell registers to trigger interrupts).
This workaround is only available on Haswell and Broadwell platform.
The workaround is to enable split BAR in the BIOS to allow the 64bit
BAR4 to be split into two 32bit BAR4 and BAR5. The BAR4 shall be pointed
to LAPIC region of the remote host. We will bypass the db mechanism and
directly trigger the MSIX interrupts. The offsets and vectors are
exchanged during transport scratch pad negotiation. The scratch pads are
now overloaded in order to allow the exchange of the information. This
gets around using the doorbell and prevents the lockup with additional
pcode changes in BIOS.

=====================================================================
Notable changes in the FreeBSD version of this patch:
* The MSIX BAR is configurable, like hw.ntb.b2b_mw_idx (msix_mw_idx).
The Linux version of the patch only uses BAR4.
* MSIX negotiation aborts if the link goes down.

Replace the hw.ntb.enable_writecombine tunable with
hw.ntb.default_mw_pat. It can be set with several specific numerical
values to select a caching type. Any bogus value is treated as
Uncacheable (UC).
The ntb_mw_set_wc() KPI has removed the restriction that the selected
mode must be one of UC, WC, or WB.

And expose vm_memattr_t of current mapping to consumers (as well as the
ability to change it to one of UC, WB, WC).
After short discussion with: jhb (but no review)

Adds a new tunable, ntb.hw.b2b_mw_idx, which specifies the offset (from the
total number of memory windows) to use for register access on hardware with
the SDOORBELL_LOCKUP errata. The default is -1, i.e., the last memory
window.
We map BARs before the b2b_mw_idx is selected, so map them all as memory
windows initially. The register memory window should not be write-combined,
so we explicitly disable WC on the selected MW later.
This introduces a layer of abstraction between consumer memory window
indices, which exclude any exclusive errata-workaround BARs, and internal
memory window indices, which include such BARs. An internal routine,
ntb_user_mw_to_idx(), converts the former to the latter. Public APIs have
been updated to use this instead of assuming the exclusive workaround BAR is
the last available MW.

This feature is disabled by default. To enable it, tune
hw.if_ntb.enable_xeon_watchdog to non-zero.
If enabled, writes an unused NTB register every second to demonstrate to
a hardware watchdog that the NTB device is still alive. Most machines
with NTB will not need this -- you know who you are.

32-bit BARs can only address memory mapped in the low 32 bits of
physical RAM. Expose this as a 'plimit' out parameter from
ntb_mw_get_range().
Fix if_ntb to allocate memory within this limit.

Sometimes they'll read spurious values (observed: 0xc on Broadwell-DE),

The tunable 'hw.ntb.enable_writecombine' may be set to zero to
administratively disable write combining the mapped NTB region.

There is no need for the upstream and downstream addresses to be
different for the NTB configs. Go to using a single set of address. It
is still possible to configure them differently using module parameter
override however (CEM: tunable).

Because it can sleep drainking link work callout(s). Linux (dual
BSD/GPL driver) does something very similar.
At the same time, switch the NTB CTX lock to a non-spin mutex, because
the taskqueue_swi lock can't be taken after a spin mutex.

In ntb_poll_link, we are intentionally writing the link bit, which is
absent from db_valid_mask. Don't panic on a kassert when we do so.
The Linux version of this (dual BSD/GPL) driver has the db_valid_mask
assertions in callers of db_iowrite() rather than db_iowrite() itself;
it skips the assertions in the equivalent of ntb_poll_link(). Rather
than duplicating the assertions in every caller, add a db_iowrite_raw()
that doesn't check and use it from ntb_poll_link().

AMD64 pmap assumes ranges will be in the DMAP, which isn't necessarily
true for NTB memory windows (especially 64-bit BARs).

This should export all of the same information as the Linux ntb_hw_intel
debugfs info file, but with a bit more structure, in the sysctl tree
rooted at 'dev.ntb_hw.<N>.debug_info'.
Raw registers are marked as OPAQUE because reading them on some hardware
revisions may cause a hard lockup (NTB errata). They can be read with
'sysctl -x dev.ntb_hw.<N>.debug_info.registers'. On Xeon platforms,
some additional registers are available under 'registers.xeon_stats' and
'registers.xeon_hw_err'. They are exported as big-endian values so that
the 'sysctl -x' output is legible.
Shrink the feature mask to 32 bits so we can use the %b formatter in
'debug_info.features'.
