Subject: [PATCH v2 3/9] NTB: Alter link-state API to support multi-port devices

Multi-port devices permit the NTB connections between multiple domains,
so a local device can have NTB link being up with one peer and being
down with another. NTB link-state API is appropriately altered to return
a bitfield of the link-states between the local device and possible peers.
