We have a consistent struct rproc after rproc_alloc(). So before the
virtio device (rpmsg in your case) calls virtio_find_vqs() rvring->vq
will be NULL and rproc_vq_interrupt() is a nop.

So AFAICT it should be fine to register this at probe time and leave it
enabled...but there's a lot of moving parts involved here, so it's
possible that I'm missing something.


But in for both interrupts it's important to disable them before calling
rproc_free(), as this will free the memory passed to the interrupt
handler.
