Done - in v2 the documentation, release note and MAINTAINERS update are
squashed into the AMD driver patch, so the series is now 2 patches.

Added. v2 adds the new rte_pmd_ntb_get_mem_align() API (as you
suggested), and the guide now documents the outbound translation window
constraint and instructs applications to reserve each memory window
memzone with the alignment returned by that API, pointing at the
ntb_fwd example as the reference usage.
