If you implement it as a vhost driver which implements rpmsg_device_ops and rpmsg_endpoint_ops, then wouldn't you be able to implement your vhost-sof driver using the normal rpmsg APIs? I tried quickly hooking up this code to such a vhost driver and I was able to communicate between host and guest systems with both rpmsg-client-sample and rpmsg-char which almost no modifications to those drivers.
