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.
