Ditch some boilerplate code by employing the module_platform_driver
helper.

Let remoteproc know when the firmware doesn't support any virtio
functionality, so registering a virtio device can be avoided.
This is needed for remote processors that doesn't require any
virtio-based communications, but are still controlled via remoteproc.

Not all remote processors employ an IOMMU, so do not error out
on !iommu_present().
Note: we currently still use iommu_present() to tell whether we need
to configure an IOMMU or not. That works for simple cases, but will
easily fail with more complicated ones (e.g. where an IOMMU exists,
but not all remote processors use it). When those use cases show up,
we will solve them by introducing something like remoteproc hw
capabilities.

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.

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...).

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.

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.
