This adds a RPMsg driver that implements communication between the CPU and an
APU.
This uses VirtIO buffer to exchange messages but for sharing data, this uses
a dmabuf, mapped to be shared between CPU (userspace) and APU.
The driver is relatively generic, and should work with any SoC implementing
hardware accelerator for AI if they use support remoteproc and VirtIO.

For the people interested by the firmware or userspace library,
the sources are available here:
https://github.com/BayLibre/open-amp/tree/v2020.01-mtk/apps/examples/apu
Since this has open userspace (from a very cursory look), and smells very
much like an acceleration driver, and seems to use dma-buf for memory
management: Why is this not just a drm driver?

I have never though to DRM since for me it was only a RPMsg driver.
I don't know well DRM. Could you tell me how you would do it so I could have a look ?

Thanks,
Alexandre
