Linus Torvalds 6d7c8e1b3a A very significant modification to NTB in this series.
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.

 "This includes a pretty significant reworking of the NTB core code, but

  performance" NTB clients.
