I won't merge this new api without a client, and I'm still concerned
about the details.

That's ok.

Is the expectation that a call to rpmsg_send() with this size will
eventually succeed?

I'm still under the impression that the rpmsg protocol doesn't have to
operate on fixed size messages. Would this then return vrp->num_bufs *
