NTB: Alter MW API to support multi-ports devices



Multi-port NTB devices permit to share a memory between all accessible peers.
Memory Windows API is altered to correspondingly initialize and map memory
windows for such devices:
 ntb_mw_count(pidx); - number of inbound memory windows, which can be allocated
for shared buffer with specified peer device.
 ntb_mw_get_align(pidx, widx); - get alignment and size restriction parameters
to properly allocate inbound memory region.
 ntb_peer_mw_count(); - get number of outbound memory windows.
 ntb_peer_mw_get_addr(widx); - get mapping address of an outbound memory window

If hardware supports inbound translation configured on the local ntb port:
 ntb_mw_set_trans(pidx, widx); - set translation address of allocated inbound
memory window so a peer device could access it.
 ntb_mw_clear_trans(pidx, widx); - clear the translation address of an inbound
memory window.

If hardware supports outbound translation configured on the peer ntb port:
 ntb_peer_mw_set_trans(pidx, widx); - set translation address of a memory
window retrieved from a peer device
 ntb_peer_mw_clear_trans(pidx, widx); - clear the translation address of an
outbound memory window
