Even though there is no any real NTB hardware, which would have both more
than two ports and Scratchpad registers, it is logically correct to have
Scratchpad API accepting a peer port index as well. Intel/AMD drivers utilize
Primary and Secondary topology to split Scratchpad between connected root
devices. Since port-index API introduced, Intel/AMD NTB hardware drivers can
use device port to determine which Scratchpad registers actually belong to
local and peer devices. The same approach can be used if some potential
hardware in future will be multi-port and have some set of Scratchpads.
Here are the brief of changes in the API:
ntb_spad_count() - return number of Scratchpads per each port
ntb_peer_spad_addr(pidx, sidx) - address of Scratchpad register of the
peer device with pidx-index
ntb_peer_spad_read(pidx, sidx) - read specified Scratchpad register of the
peer with pidx-index
ntb_peer_spad_write(pidx, sidx) - write data to Scratchpad register of the
peer with pidx-index
Since there is hardware which doesn't support Scratchpad registers, the
corresponding API methods are now made optional.

There is some NTB hardware, which can combine more than just two domains
over NTB. For instance, some IDT PCIe-switches can have NTB-functions
activated on more than two-ports. The different domains are distinguished
by ports they are connected to. So the new port-related methods are added to
the NTB API:
ntb_port_number() - return local port
ntb_peer_port_count() - return number of peers local port can connect to
ntb_peer_port_number(pdix) - return port number by it index
ntb_peer_port_idx(port) - return port index by it number
Current test-drivers aren't changed much. They still support two-ports devices
for the time being while multi-ports hardware drivers aren't added.
By default port-related API is declared for two-ports hardware.
So corresponding hardware drivers won't need to implement it.

This commit adds a debugfs 'count' file to ntb_pingpong. This is so
testing with ntb_pingpong can be automated beyond just checking the
logs for pong messages.
The count file returns a number which increments every pong. The
counter can be cleared by writing a zero.

This is a simple ping pong driver that exercises the scratch pads and
doorbells of the ntb hardware. This driver may be used to test that
your ntb hardware and drivers are functioning at a basic level.
