Bjorn Andersson c0cdc19f84 rpmsg: Driver for user space endpoint interface
This driver allows rpmsg instances to expose access to rpmsg endpoints
to user space processes. It provides a control interface, allowing
userspace to export endpoints and an endpoint interface for each exposed
endpoint.

The implementation is based on prior art by Texas Instrument, Google,
PetaLogix and was derived from a FreeRTOS performance statistics driver
written by Michal Simek.

The control interface provides a "create endpoint" ioctl, which is fed a
name, source and destination address. The three values are used to
create the endpoint, in a backend-specific way, and a rpmsg endpoint
device is created - with the three parameters are available in sysfs for
udev usage.

E.g. to create an endpoint device for one of the Qualcomm SMD channel
related to DIAG one would issue:

  struct rpmsg_endpoint_info info = { "DIAG_CNTL", 0, 0 };
  int fd = open("/dev/rpmsg_ctrl0", O_RDWR);
  ioctl(fd, RPMSG_CREATE_EPT_IOCTL, &info);

Each created endpoint device shows up as an individual character device
in /dev, allowing permission to be controlled on a per-endpoint basis.
The rpmsg endpoint will be created and destroyed following the opening
and closing of the endpoint device, allowing rpmsg backends to open and
close the physical channel, if supported by the wire protocol.

Bjorn Andersson 84d58132d2 rpmsg: Introduce "poll" to endpoint ops
This allows rpmsg backends to implement polling of the outgoing buffer,
which provides poll support to user space when using the rpmsg character
device.

Bjorn Andersson fade037e0f rpmsg: Hide rpmsg indirection tables
Move the device and endpoint indirection tables to the rpmsg internal
header file, to hide them from the public API.

Bjorn Andersson 5e619b4867 rpmsg: Split rpmsg core and virtio backend
Extract the generic rpmsg core functionality from the virtio rpmsg
implementation, splitting the implementation in a rpmsg core and a
virtio backend.
