[RFCv2 00/10] remoteproc: Support bi-directional vdev config space

[Sjur BrÃndeland]

Changes since v1:
- Separate vring allocation and registration
- Break up patches in smaller parts to facilitate review.
  (The patches here are perhaps too fine grained and can be squashed later).

This patch-set adds support for shared resource table between
Linux kernel and remote devices. 
Features:
- dynamically-allocated address of the vrings can be communicated
- vdev statuses can be communicated
- virtio config space becomes bi-directional
- virtio feature negotiation is two-way 

NOTE: This change may not be backwards compatible with existing
device firmware! The memory allocation order may change. Previously
the Virtio Rings were always allocated at start of the share memory
area, but with this patch-set the memory allocation are done in the
order defined resource table.

A number of changes are introduced to achieve this:
- The firmware is loaded once.
- The allocations of resources is done before registering 
  the virtio devices.
- The virtio device uses resource bits, status and config
  space in memory shared with the device.

Review comments and feedback are welcomed!

Thanks,
Sjur
