Thanks for reacting to the test robot so quickly.  Since nobody else has 
responded yet, I would like to assure you that the patches are not being 
ignored.  Please be patient.  The IDT driver will be a valuable contribution to 
the ntb subsystem.  I am working carefully through patch 1/3 first, since it 
affects existing drivers and interface.

A word of caution regarding your statement, "There are a some types of 
checkpatch warnings I left unfixed."  Coding style can be a touchy subject, 
leading to some recent rants^H^H^H^H^Hdiscussion on some of the same topics 
that are included in that list of unfixed warnings.  Be prepared to adhere to 
the style guide, even if it is inconvenient and against your own logic, because 
that is almost always the easier and more practical approach than asking for 
changes or exceptions, and better for your mental health not to be on the To: 
list of something like https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/7/8/625.

"Of course all of these warnings are discussable, except the last one."  Be 
prepared, even if it will require significant changes to the code.  For really 
inconvenient changes, we can talk about other more readily acceptable 
approaches to keep the code short and elegant, as is obviously your intent.  
Please be patient with the review.
