NTB: Add IDT 89HPESxNTx PCIe-switches support

IDT 89HPESxNTx device series is PCIe-switches, which support
Non-Transparent bridging between domains connected to the device ports.
Since new NTB API exposes multi-port interface and messaging API, the
IDT NT-functions can be now supported in the kernel. This driver adds
the following functionality:
1) Multi-port NTB API to have information of possible NT-functions
activated in compliance with available device ports.
2) Memory windows of direct and look up table based address translation
with all possible combinations of BARs setup.
3) Traditional doorbell NTB API.
4) One-on-one messaging NTB API.

There are some IDT PCIe-switch setups, which must be done before any of
the NTB peers started. It can be performed either by system BIOS via
IDT SMBus-slave interface or by pre-initialized IDT PCIe-switch EEPROM:
1) NT-functions of corresponding ports must be activated using
SWPARTxCTL and SWPORTxCTL registers.
2) BAR0 must be configured to expose NT-function configuration
registers map.
3) The rest of the BARs must have at least one memory window
configured, otherwise the driver will just return an error.
Temperature sensor of IDT PCIe-switches can be also optionally
activated by BIOS or EEPROM.
(See IDT documentations for details of how the pre-initialization can
be done)

This driver supports NTB of cappable IDT PCIe-switches.
Some of the pre-initializations must be made before IDT PCIe-switch
exposes it NT-functions correctly. It should be done by either proper
initialisation of EEPROM connected to master smbus of the switch or
by BIOS using slave-SMBus interface changing corresponding registers
value. Evidently it must be done before PCI bus enumeration is
finished in Linux kernel.
First of all partitions must be activated and properly assigned to all
the ports with NT-functions intended to be activated (see SWPARTxCTL
and SWPORTxCTL registers). Then all NT-function BARs must be enabled
with chosen valid aperture. For memory windows related BARs the
aperture settings shall determine the maximum size of memory windows
accepted by a BAR. Note that BAR0 must map PCI configuration space
registers.
It's worth to note, that since a part of this driver relies on the
BAR settings of peer NT-functions, the BAR setups can't be done over
kernel PCI fixups. That's why the alternative pre-initialization
techniques like BIOS using SMBus interface or EEPROM should be
utilized. Additionally if one needs to have temperature sensor
information printed to system log, the corresponding registers must
be initialized within BIOS/EEPROM as well.
If unsure, say N.
