    rpmsg is using shared memory as transport mechanism and virtio
    is providing this. rpmsg is conceptually a child of virtio: when the
    subsystem was proposed by TI Arnd noted that virtio has large
    similarities in shared memory transport and as the potential reuse
    for buffer handling etc was excellent virtio was used as
    a base for rpmsg/remoteproc work.
