Serge Semin bf2a952d31 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)

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
