Downstream has a bunch of DT switches that we don't support for now
upstream. I disagree about shoehorning this into the SCM driver. It
really is a layer on top of SCM but also SCM is a user of this
interface.

I will send a v2 with QCom ICE as a second user so that exporting
symbols pointed out by Krzysztof as having no users make more sense.
Hopefully keeping it separate will make more sense too.

If anything, the SHM Bridge code should stay in a separate compilation
unit even as part of SCM.
