NTB: NTB-RP support 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. Signed-off-by: Jon Mason <jon.mason@intel.com>
