Is there any high level documentation about this?

A while back, TI was trying to upstream something for one of there
SoCs. It was a multi CPU system, with not all CPUs used for SMP, but
one or two kept for management and real time tasks, not even running
Linux. They had a block of shared memory used for communication
between the CPUs/OSes, along with rproc. They layered an ethernet
driver on top of this, with buffers for frames in the shared memory.

Could ISM be used for something like this?
