This looks really useful, but why is it implemented as an API and not as
a real vhost driver which implements an rpmsg bus? If you implement it
as a vhost driver which implements rpmsg_device_ops and
rpmsg_endpoint_ops, then wouldn't you be able to implement your
vhost-sof driver using the normal rpmsg APIs?
I tried quickly hooking up this code to such a vhost driver and I was
able to communicate between host and guest systems with both
rpmsg-client-sample and rpmsg-char which almost no modifications to
those drivers.
