When rpmsg drivers are built into the kernel, they must not initialize

To fix that, and to stop depending on arbitrary linkage ordering of
those built-in rpmsg drivers, we make the rpmsg bus initialize at
subsys_initcall.

For each registered rproc, maintain a generic remoteproc device whose
parent is the low level platform-specific device (commonly a pdev, but
it may certainly be any other type of device too).
With this in hand, the resulting device hierarchy might then look like:
omap-rproc.0
|
- remoteproc0 <---- new !
|
- virtio0
|
- virtio1
|
- rpmsg0
|
- rpmsg1
|
- rpmsg2
Where:
- omap-rproc.0 is the low level device that's bound to the
driver which invokes rproc_register()
- remoteproc0 is the result of this patch, and will be added by the
remoteproc framework when rproc_register() is invoked
- virtio0 and virtio1 are vdevs that are registered by remoteproc
when it realizes that they are supported by the firmware
of the physical remote processor represented by omap-rproc.0
- rpmsg0, rpmsg1 and rpmsg2 are rpmsg devices that represent rpmsg
channels, and are registerd by the rpmsg bus when it gets notified
about their existence
Technically, this patch:
- changes 'struct rproc' to contain this generic remoteproc.x device
- creates a new "remoteproc" type, to which this new generic remoteproc.x
device belong to.
- adds a super simple enumeration method for the indices of the
remoteproc.x devices
- updates all dev_* messaging to use the generic remoteproc.x device
instead of the low level platform-specific device
- updates all dma_* allocations to use the parent of remoteproc.x (where
the platform-specific memory pools, most commonly CMA, are to be found)
Adding this generic device has several merits:
- we can now add remoteproc runtime PM support simply by hooking onto the
new "remoteproc" type
- all remoteproc log messages will now carry a common name prefix
instead of having a platform-specific one
- having a device as part of the rproc struct makes it possible to simplify
refcounting (see subsequent patch)
Thanks to Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> for suggesting and
discussing these ideas in one of the remoteproc review threads and
to Fernando Guzman Lugo <fernando.lugo@ti.com> for trying them out
with the (upcoming) runtime PM support for remoteproc.

When inbound messages arrive, rpmsg core looks up their associated
endpoint (by destination address) and then invokes their callback.
We've made sure that endpoints will never be de-allocated after they
were found by rpmsg core, but we also need to protect against the
(rare) scenario where the rpmsg driver was just removed, and its
callback function isn't available anymore.
This is achieved by introducing a callback mutex, which must be taken
before the callback is invoked, and, obviously, before it is removed.

When an inbound message arrives, the rpmsg core looks up its
associated endpoint and invokes the registered callback.
If a message arrives while its endpoint is being removed (because
the rpmsg driver was removed, or a recovery of a remote processor
has kicked in) we must ensure atomicity, i.e.:
- Either the ept is removed before it is found
or
- The ept is found but will not be freed until the callback returns
This is achieved by maintaining a per-ept reference count, which,
when drops to zero, will trigger deallocation of the ept.
With this in hand, it is now forbidden to directly deallocate
epts once they have been added to the endpoints idr.

The name service endpoint wasn't destroyed, so fix it.
This is achieved by introducing an internal __rpmsg_destroy_ept
function which doesn't assume the given ept is bound to an rpmsg
channel (much like the existing __rpmsg_create_ept).
This is needed because the name service ept belongs to the rpmsg bus,
and is never bound with a specific rpdev.

Add a virtio-based inter-processor communication bus, which enables
kernel drivers to communicate with entities, running on remote
processors, over shared memory using a simple messaging protocol.
Every pair of AMP processors share two vrings, which are used to send
and receive the messages over shared memory.
The header of every message sent on the rpmsg bus contains src and dst
addresses, which make it possible to multiplex several rpmsg channels on
the same vring.
Every rpmsg channel is a device on this bus. When a channel is added,
and an appropriate rpmsg driver is found and probed, it is also assigned
a local rpmsg address, which is then bound to the driver's callback.
When inbound messages carry the local address of a bound driver,
its callback is invoked by the bus.
This patch provides a kernel interface only; user space interfaces
will be later exposed by kernel users of this rpmsg bus.
