remoteproc/rpmsg: new subsystem
This new subsystem provides a common way to talk to secondary processors
on an SoC, e.g. a DSP, GPU or service processor, using virtio as the
transport. In the long run, it should replace a few dozen vendor
specific ways to do the same thing, which all never made it into the
upstream kernel. There is a broad agreement that rpmsg is the way to
go here and several vendors have started working on replacing their
own subsystems.
Two branches each add one virtio protocol number. Fortunately the
numbers were agreed upon in advance, so there are only context changes.

Merge tag 'rpmsg-fixes-and-more-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ohad/remoteproc into next/rpmsg
Fixing and cleaning up several remoteproc and rpmsg issues.
In addition, remoteproc's resource table is converted to a collection
of type-value members, instead of a rigid array of homogeneous structs.
This enables remoteproc to support registration of generic virtio devices,
and not only a single VIRTIO_ID_RPMSG virtio device.
But perhaps more importantly, the resource table overhaul makes it possible
to easily extend it in the future without breaking older images (simply by
defining a new member type, while continuing to support older types).
