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.
