What's an NTB device?

drivers/ntb I assume?

So it's a PCI device of some sort, but presumably the device you're
calling dma_set_mask() on is an NTB device not a PCI device?

But then it works if you tell it to use the PCI DMA ops?

At the very least the code should be checking for the NTB bus type and
only returning the PCI ops in that specific case, not for all devices.

cheers
