hardware abstraction layer.

registration uses the Linux Device framework, so it should feel familiar to
anyone who has written a pci driver.
+### NTB Transport Client (ntb\_transport) and NTB Netdev (ntb\_netdev)
+
+The primary client for NTB is the Transport client, used in tandem with NTB
+Netdev. These drivers function together to create a logical link to the peer,
+across the ntb, to exchange packets of network data. The Transport client
+establishes a logical link to the peer, and creates queue pairs to exchange
+messages and data. The NTB Netdev then creates an ethernet device using a
+Transport queue pair. Network data is copied between socket buffers and the
+Transport queue pair buffer. The Transport client may be used for other things
+besides Netdev, however no other applications have yet been written.

## NTB Hardware Drivers
NTB hardware drivers should register devices with the NTB core driver. After
registering, clients probe and remove functions will be called.
+
+### NTB Intel Hardware Driver (ntb\_hw\_intel)
+
+The Intel hardware driver supports NTB on Xeon and Atom CPUs.
+
+Module Parameters:
+
+* b2b\_mw\_idx - If the peer ntb is to be accessed via a memory window, then use
+ this memory window to access the peer ntb. A value of zero or positive
+ starts from the first mw idx, and a negative value starts from the last
+ mw idx. Both sides MUST set the same value here! The default value is
+ `-1`.
+* b2b\_mw\_share - If the peer ntb is to be accessed via a memory window, and if
+ the memory window is large enough, still allow the client to use the
+ second half of the memory window for address translation to the peer.
