OK, I will make the switch since both you and Bjorn prefer it this way. And we
can revisit later when we want to scale it to support proper shutdown as well.
FWIW, I have given my reasons for doing it the current way in a previous
response to Bjorn for similar comments.

Note that I won't be able to define a separate ops structure but rather
overwrite the ops upon detection of IPC-only mode, since I won't be able to
detect the mode until I parse the dt and query our central system processor. The
dt parsing is all done post rproc_alloc, and I need to supply a rproc_ops first.

Btw, any comments on patch 1 which is just a cleanup patch.

Suman
