+# NTB Drivers
+
+NTB (Non-Transparent Bridge) is a type of PCI-Express bridge chip that connects
+the separate memory systems of two computers to the same PCI-Express fabric.
+Existing NTB hardware supports a common feature set, including scratchpad
+registers, doorbell registers, and memory translation windows. Scratchpad
+registers are read-and-writable registers that are accessible from either side
+of the device, so that peers can exchange a small amount of information at a
+fixed address. Doorbell registers provide a way for peers to send interrupt
+events. Memory windows allow translated read and write access to the peer
+memory.
+
+## NTB Core Driver (ntb)
+
+The NTB core driver defines an api wrapping the common feature set, and allows
+clients interested in NTB features to discover NTB the devices supported by
+hardware drivers. The term "client" is used here to mean an upper layer
+component making use of the NTB api. The term "driver," or "hardware driver,"
+is used here to mean a driver for a specific vendor and model of NTB hardware.
+
+## NTB Client Drivers
+
+NTB client drivers should register with the NTB core driver. After
+registering, the client probe and remove functions will be called appropriately
+as ntb hardware, or hardware drivers, are inserted and removed. The
+registration uses the Linux Device framework, so it should feel familiar to
+anyone who has written a pci driver.
+
+## NTB Hardware Drivers
+
+NTB hardware drivers should register devices with the NTB core driver. After
+registering, clients probe and remove functions will be called.

Abstract the NTB device behind a programming interface, so that it can support different hardware and client drivers. Signed-off-by: Allen Hubbe <Allen.Hubbe@emc.com> --- This was split from the larger patch in v1..v3. This is the first part of the split. The new NTB api is added in this patch, without the noise of changing the existing drivers to use it. After applying this patch, the new NTB API exists, but the existing hardware and client drivers do not use it. The next patch changes hardware and client drivers.
