    Pull NTB updates from Jon Mason:
     "This includes a pretty significant reworking of the NTB core code, but
      has already produced some significant performance improvements.
    
      An abstraction layer was added to allow the hardware and clients to be
      easily added.  This required rewriting the NTB transport layer for
      this abstraction layer.  This modification will allow future "high
      performance" NTB clients.
    
      In addition to this change, a number of performance modifications were
      added.  These changes include NUMA enablement, using CPU memcpy
      instead of asyncdma, and modification of NTB layer MTU size"
