This series enhances Linux Vhost support to enable SoC-to-SoC
communication over MMIO. This series enables rpmsg communication between
two SoCs using both PCIe RC<->EP and HOST1-NTB-HOST2
1) Modify vhost to use standard Linux driver model
2) Add support in vring to access virtqueue over MMIO
3) Add vhost client driver for rpmsg
4) Add PCIe RC driver (uses virtio) and PCIe EP driver (uses vhost) for
rpmsg communication between two SoCs connected to each other
5) Add NTB Virtio driver and NTB Vhost driver for rpmsg communication
between two SoCs connected via NTB
6) Add configfs to configure the components

Software Layering:
The high-level SW layering should look something like below. This series
adds support only for RPMSG VHOST, however something similar should be
done for net and scsi. With that any vhost device (PCI, NTB, Platform
device, user) can use any of the vhost client driver.

I find this very interesting. A huge patchset so will take a bit
to review, but I certainly plan to do that. Thanks!
Yes, it would be better if there's a git branch for us to have a look.
Btw, I'm not sure I get the big picture, but I vaguely feel some of the
work is duplicated with vDPA (e.g the epf transport or vhost bus).
Have you considered to implement these through vDPA?
Thanks
