and correcting a free_irq inconsistency. It adds Intel SKX support.
Finally, it changes the AMD NTB maintainer, and fixes some bugs present
there.

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.

There was a copy and paste error in the documentation for
ntb_link_is_up. The long description was mistakenly copied from
ntb_link_set_trans.
This adds the appropriate long description for ntb_link_is_up.

This patch only moves files to their new locations, before applying the
next two patches adding the NTB Abstraction layer. Splitting this patch
from the next is intended make distinct which code is changed only due
to moving the files, versus which are substantial code changes in adding
the NTB Abstraction layer.

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.
