Enable Snoop from Primary to Secondary side on BAR23 and BAR45 on all
TLPs. Previously, Snoop was only enabled from Secondary to Primary
side. This can have a performance improvement on some workloads.
Also, make the code more obvious about how the link is being enabled.

Current MSI-X enablement code assumes MSI-Xs were successfully
allocated in case less than requested vectors were available.
That assumption is wrong, since MSI-Xs should be enabled with
a repeated call to pci_enable_msix(). This update fixes this.

The Xeon NTB-RP setup, the transparent side does not get a link up/down
interrupt. Since the presence of a NTB device on the transparent side
means that we have a NTB link up, we can work around the lack of an
interrupt by simply calling the link up function to notify the upper
layers.

Modifications to the 14th bit of the B2BDOORBELL register will not be
mirrored to the remote system due to a hardware issue. To get around
the issue, shrink the number of available doorbell bits by 1. The max
number of doorbells was being used as a way to referencing the Link
Doorbell bit. Since this would no longer work, the driver must now
explicitly reference that bit.
This does not affect the xeon_errata_workaround case, as it is not using
the b2bdoorbell register.

PCI core will initialize device MSI/MSI-X capability in
pci_msi_init_pci_dev(). So device driver should use
pci_dev->msi_cap/msix_cap to determine whether the device
support MSI/MSI-X instead of using
pci_find_capability(pci_dev, PCI_CAP_ID_MSI/MSIX).
Access to PCIe device config space again will consume more time.

Add support for Non-Transparent Bridge connected to a PCI-E Root Port on
the remote system (also known as NTB-RP mode). This allows for a NTB
enabled system to be connected to a non-NTB enabled system/slot.
Modifications to the registers and BARs/MWs on the Secondary side by the
remote system are reflected into registers on the Primary side for the
local system. Similarly, modifications of registers and BARs/MWs on
Primary side by the local system are reflected into registers on the
Secondary side for the Remote System. This allows communication between
the 2 sides via these registers and BARs/MWs.
Note: there is not a fix for the Xeon Errata (that was already worked
around in NTB-B2B mode) for NTB-RP mode. Due to this limitation, NTB-RP
will not work on the Secondary side with the Xeon Errata workaround
enabled. To get around this, disable the workaround via the
xeon_errata_workaround=0 modparm. However, this can cause the hang
described in the errata.

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.

Add support for new Intel NTB devices on upcoming Xeon hardware. Since
the Xeon hardware design is already in place in the driver, all that is
needed are the new device ids.
Remove the device IDs for NTB devs running in Transparent Bridge mode,
as this driver is not being used for those devices.
Rename the device IDs for NTB devs running in NTB-RP mode to better
identify their usage model. "PS" to denote the Primary Side of NTB, and
"SS" to denote the secondary side. The primary side is the interface
exposed to the local system, and the secondary side is the interface
exposed to the remote system.

The BWD NTB device will drop the link if an error is encountered on the
point-to-point PCI bridge. The link will stay down until all errors are
cleared and the link is re-established. On link down, check to see if
the error is detected, if so do the necessary housekeeping to try and
recover from the error and reestablish the link.
There is a potential race between the 2 NTB devices recovering at the
same time. If the times are synchronized, the link will not recover and the
driver will be stuck in this loop forever. Add a random interval to the
recovery time to prevent this race.

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.

Debugfs was setup in NTB to only have a single debugfs directory. This
resulted in the leaking of debugfs directories and files when multiple
NTB devices were present, due to each device stomping on the variables
containing the previous device's values (thus preventing them from being
freed on cleanup). Correct this by creating a secondary directory of
the PCI BDF for each device present, and nesting the previously existing
information in those directories.

If an error is encountered in ntb_device_setup, it is possible that the
spci_cmd isn't populated. Writes to the offset can result in a NULL
pointer dereference. This issue is easily encountered by running in
NTB-RP mode, as it currently is not supported and will generate an
error. To get around this issue, return if an error is encountered
prior to attempting to write to the spci_cmd offset.

64bit BAR sizes are permissible with an NTB device. To support them
various modifications and clean-ups were required, most significantly
using 2 32bit scratch pad registers for each BAR.
Also, modify the driver to allow more than 2 Memory Windows.

A PCI-Express non-transparent bridge (NTB) is a point-to-point PCIe bus
connecting 2 systems, providing electrical isolation between the two subsystems.
A non-transparent bridge is functionally similar to a transparent bridge except
that both sides of the bridge have their own independent address domains. The
host on one side of the bridge will not have the visibility of the complete
memory or I/O space on the other side of the bridge. To communicate across the
non-transparent bridge, each NTB endpoint has one (or more) apertures exposed to
the local system. Writes to these apertures are mirrored to memory on the
remote system. Communications can also occur through the use of doorbell
registers that initiate interrupts to the alternate domain, and scratch-pad
registers accessible from both sides.
The NTB device driver is needed to configure these memory windows, doorbell, and
scratch-pad registers as well as use them in such a way as they can be turned
into a viable communication channel to the remote system. ntb_hw.[ch]
determines the usage model (NTB to NTB or NTB to Root Port) and abstracts away
the underlying hardware to provide access and a common interface to the doorbell
registers, scratch pads, and memory windows. These hardware interfaces are
exported so that other, non-mainlined kernel drivers can access these.
ntb_transport.[ch] also uses the exported interfaces in ntb_hw.[ch] to setup a
communication channel(s) and provide a reliable way of transferring data from
one side to the other, which it then exports so that "client" drivers can access
them. These client drivers are used to provide a standard kernel interface
(i.e., Ethernet device) to NTB, such that Linux can transfer data from one
system to the other in a standard way.
