I agree that this isn't very obvious. But I think it is common to call the
host "a server" and guests "clients." E.g. in vhost.c in the top-of-thefile
comment:
* Generic code for virtio server in host kernel.
I think the generic concept behind this notation is, that as guests boot,
they send their requests to the host, e.g. VirtIO device drivers on guests
send requests over VirtQueues to VirtIO servers on the host, which can run
either in the user- or in the kernel-space. And I think you can follow that
logic in case of devices or remote processors too: it's the main CPU(s)
that boot(s) and start talking to devices and remote processors, so in that
sence devices are servers and the CPUs are their clients.
And yes, the name-space announcement use-case seems confusing to me too - it
reverts the relationship in a way: once a guest has booted and established
connections to any rpmsg "devices," those send their namespace announcements
back. But I think this can be regarded as server identification: you connect
to a server and it replies with its identification and capabilities.

It is the terminology, yes, but you're right, the wording isn't very clear, will
improve.

I think the above is correct. "Vhost" indicates, that this is running on the host.
"match the guest side" means, that you can use this API on the host and it is
designed to work together with the RPMsg VirtIO drivers running on guests, as
implemented *on guests* by virtio_rpmsg_bus.c. Would "to work together" be a better
description than "to match?"

That's logical: this is a field, private to the API users, so the core shouldn't
use it :-) It's used in later patches.
