nl stands for 'no lock'   There are lock wrappers around some
functions that add or remove devices.
All are associated with hot plug remove or adds.   Given that to start
off with there will be a single hard
wired link maybe this locking and hot plug precaution isn't necessary.

This was written when the only host CPU was 32 bit.   Question going
forward is what platforms will we
support.   Is compiler smart enough to allow use of u64 in any case?
This also assumes we have a max
of 64 links, one bit per link,  on the primary master.   Seems
reasonable to keep that size for the
foreseeable future.
