Combined with the virtio-i2c effort this could provide an alternative by

So, you wanna use virtio as logical interface between the two CPUs ?
Interesting idea. Usually folks use rpmsg for those things.

What is running on the secondary CPU ? Some OS like Linux or some bare
metal stuff ? What kind of CPU is that anyways ?
