This adds a RPMsg driver that implements communication between the CPU and an APU. This uses VirtIO buffer to exchange messages but for sharing data, this uses a dmabuf, mapped to be shared between CPU (userspace) and APU. The driver is relatively generic, and should work with any SoC implementing hardware accelerator for AI if they use support remoteproc and VirtIO.
