So with this there will be one more device between rproc->dev and the
virtio dev, for the sake of memory management. So e.g. a rpmsg device
will still need to allocate memory from dev->parent->parent; which now
possibly has a specific dma_mem.

Is it not possible to assign the memory to the vdev->dev and allow the
virtio devices can allocate memory from their parent device?
