NTB door bell usage depends on NTB hardware.
ex: intel NTB gen1 has one peer door bell register which can be controlled
by the bitmap writen to it, while Intel NTB gen3 has a registers
per door bell and the data trigering the each door bell is always 1.
therefore exposing only peer door bell address forcing the user
to be aware of such low level details

Simple (1 << pidx) operation causes undefined behaviour when
pidx >= 32. It must be casted to u64 to match the actual return
value of ntb_link_is_up() method, so to have all the possible
peer indexes covered and to get rid of undefined behaviour.
Additionally there are special macros in "linux/bitops.h" to perform
the bit-set-shift operations, so it's recommended to have them used
for proper bit setting.

There is a common methods signature form used over all the NTB API
like functions naming scheme, arguments names and order, etc.
Recently added NTB messaging API IO callbacks were named a bit
different so should be renamed to be in compliance with the rest
of the API.

Crosslink is a feature of the Switchtec switches that is similar to
the B2B mode of other NTB devices. It allows a system to be designed
that is perfectly symmetric with two identical switches that link
two hosts together.
In order for the system to be symmetric, there is an empty host-less
partition between the two switches which the host must enumerate and
assign BAR addresses to. The firmware in the switch manages this
specially so that the BAR addresses on both sides of the empty
partition will be identical despite being in the same partition with
the same address space.
The driver determines whether crosslink is enabled by a flag set in
the NTB partition info registers which are set by the switch's
configuration file.
When crosslink is enabled, a reserved LUT window is setup to point to
the peer's switch's NTB registers and the local MWs are set to forward
to the host-less partition's BARs. (Yes, this hurts my brain too.)
Once this is setup, largely the same NTB infrastructure is used to
communicate between the two hosts.

Adds a comment and a check to ntb_mw_get_align() so that it always fails
if the function is called before the link is up.
Also adds a comment to ntb_mw_count() to note that it may return 0 if
it is called before the link is up.
This is to prevent accidental mis-use in clients that are testing
on hardware that this doesn't matter for.

Some IDT NTB-capable PCIe-switches have message registers to communicate with
peer devices. This patch adds new NTB API callback methods, which can be used
to utilize these registers functionality:
ntb_msg_count(); - get number of message registers
ntb_msg_inbits(); - get bitfield of inbound message registers status
ntb_msg_outbits(); - get bitfield of outbound message registers status
ntb_msg_read_sts(); - read the inbound and outbound message registers status
ntb_msg_clear_sts(); - clear status bits of message registers
ntb_msg_set_mask(); - mask interrupts raised by status bits of message
registers.
ntb_msg_clear_mask(); - clear interrupts mask bits of message registers
ntb_msg_read(midx, *pidx); - read message register with specified index,
additionally getting peer port index which data received from
ntb_msg_write(midx, pidx); - write data to the specified message register
sending it to the passed peer device connected over a pidx port
ntb_msg_event(); - notify driver context of a new message event
Of course there is hardware which doesn't support Message registers, so
this API is made optional.

Even though there is no any real NTB hardware, which would have both more
than two ports and Scratchpad registers, it is logically correct to have
Scratchpad API accepting a peer port index as well. Intel/AMD drivers utilize
Primary and Secondary topology to split Scratchpad between connected root
devices. Since port-index API introduced, Intel/AMD NTB hardware drivers can
use device port to determine which Scratchpad registers actually belong to
local and peer devices. The same approach can be used if some potential
hardware in future will be multi-port and have some set of Scratchpads.
Here are the brief of changes in the API:
ntb_spad_count() - return number of Scratchpads per each port
ntb_peer_spad_addr(pidx, sidx) - address of Scratchpad register of the
peer device with pidx-index
ntb_peer_spad_read(pidx, sidx) - read specified Scratchpad register of the
peer with pidx-index
ntb_peer_spad_write(pidx, sidx) - write data to Scratchpad register of the
peer with pidx-index
Since there is hardware which doesn't support Scratchpad registers, the
corresponding API methods are now made optional.

Multi-port NTB devices permit to share a memory between all accessible peers.
Memory Windows API is altered to correspondingly initialize and map memory
windows for such devices:
ntb_mw_count(pidx); - number of inbound memory windows, which can be allocated
for shared buffer with specified peer device.
ntb_mw_get_align(pidx, widx); - get alignment and size restriction parameters
to properly allocate inbound memory region.
ntb_peer_mw_count(); - get number of outbound memory windows.
ntb_peer_mw_get_addr(widx); - get mapping address of an outbound memory window
If hardware supports inbound translation configured on the local ntb port:
ntb_mw_set_trans(pidx, widx); - set translation address of allocated inbound
memory window so a peer device could access it.
ntb_mw_clear_trans(pidx, widx); - clear the translation address of an inbound
memory window.
If hardware supports outbound translation configured on the peer ntb port:
ntb_peer_mw_set_trans(pidx, widx); - set translation address of a memory
window retrieved from a peer device
ntb_peer_mw_clear_trans(pidx, widx); - clear the translation address of an
outbound memory window

Multi-port devices permit the NTB connections between multiple domains,
so a local device can have NTB link being up with one peer and being
down with another. NTB link-state API is appropriately altered to return
a bitfield of the link-states between the local device and possible peers.

There is some NTB hardware, which can combine more than just two domains
over NTB. For instance, some IDT PCIe-switches can have NTB-functions
activated on more than two-ports. The different domains are distinguished
by ports they are connected to. So the new port-related methods are added to
the NTB API:
ntb_port_number() - return local port
ntb_peer_port_count() - return number of peers local port can connect to
ntb_peer_port_number(pdix) - return port number by it index
ntb_peer_port_idx(port) - return port index by it number
Current test-drivers aren't changed much. They still support two-ports devices
for the time being while multi-ports hardware drivers aren't added.
By default port-related API is declared for two-ports hardware.
So corresponding hardware drivers won't need to implement it.

The functions ntb_peer_db_addr and ntb_peer_spad_addr were required by
the api. The functions already support returning an error, so any
existing calling code should already check for it. Any existing code
using drivers that implement the functions will not be affected.

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.
