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.

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).
