Hi Linus,
Please consider pulling the following for inclusion into 4.2. It
includes a pretty significant reworking of the NTB core code, but has
already produced some significant perf improvements.
Thanks,
Jon

NTB: Add split BAR output for debugfs stats (2015-07-04 14:09:32 -0400)
----------------------------------------------------------------
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.
