Well, I saw *part* of the problem.  This fixes something that is in
-next, added by ff32fac00d97 ("NTB: EPF: support NTB transfer between
PCI RC and EP connection") [1], which was merged by Jon.

So I guess Jon will squash and update his branch or merge the
fixup(s).

(Jon, if you squash, note there are several typos in the commit log:
s/Virtual NTB/virtual NTB/, s/include/includes/, s/3 part/3 parts/,
s/virutal/virtual, s/pci/PCI/, s/BUS/Bus/)
