Ohad Ben-Cohen 34ed5a33b1 remoteproc/omap: add a remoteproc driver for OMAP4
Add a remoteproc driver for OMAP4, so we can boot the dual-M3 and
and DSP subsystems.

Use the omap_device_* API to control the hardware state, and utilize
the OMAP mailbox to interrupt the remote processor when a new message
is pending (the mailbox payload is used to tell it which virtqueue was
the message placed in).

Conversely, when an inbound mailbox message arrives, tell the remoteproc
core which virtqueue is triggered.

Later we will also use the mailbox payload to signal omap-specific
events like remote crashes (which will be used to trigger remoteproc
recovery) and power management transitions. At that point we will also
extend the remoteproc core to support this.

Based on (but now quite far from) work done by Fernando Guzman Lugo

Ohad Ben-Cohen ac8954a413 remoteproc: create rpmsg virtio device
Create an rpmsg virtio device to allow message-based communication
with the remote processor (but only if supported by its firmware).

There are several advantages to provide this functionality at
the remoteproc-level:
- to support it, platforms only have to provide their own ->kick()
  handler; no need to duplicate the rest of the code.
- the virtio device is created only when the remote processor is
  registered and ready to go. No need to depend on initcall magic.
  moreover, we only add the virtio device if the firmware really
  supports it, and only after we know the supported virtio device features.
- correct device model hierarchy can be set, and that is useful
  for natural power management and DMA API behavior.
- when the remote processor crashes (or removed) we only need
  to remove the virtio device, and the driver core will take care of
  the rest. No need to implement any out-of-bound notifiers.
- we can now easily bind the virtio device to its rproc handle, and
  this way we don't need any name-based remoteproc ->get() API.

Currently we only support creating a single rpmsg virtio device per
remote processor, but later this is going to be extended to support
creating numerous virtio devices of other types too (block, net,
console...).

Ohad Ben-Cohen 6391a70682 remoteproc: add debugfs entries
Expose several remote processor properties (name, state, trace buffer)
that are helpful for debugging.

This part is extracted to a separate patch just to keep the review load
down.

Ohad Ben-Cohen 400e64df6b remoteproc: add framework for controlling remote processors
Modern SoCs typically employ a central symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)
application processor running Linux, with several other asymmetric
multiprocessing (AMP) heterogeneous processors running different instances
of operating system, whether Linux or any other flavor of real-time OS.

Booting a remote processor in an AMP configuration typically involves:
- Loading a firmware which contains the OS image
- Allocating and providing it required system resources (e.g. memory)
- Programming an IOMMU (when relevant)
- Powering on the device

This patch introduces a generic framework that allows drivers to do
that. In the future, this framework will also include runtime power
management and error recovery.

Based on (but now quite far from) work done by Fernando Guzman Lugo

ELF loader was written by Mark Grosen <mgrosen@ti.com>, based on
msm's Peripheral Image Loader (PIL) by Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org>.
