Documentation/rpmsg.txt: "Every rpmsg device is a communication channel 
with a remote processor (thus rpmsg devices are called channels)."

I'd instinctively assume that a remote processor already has its own 
memory, and that a communication channel doesn't somehow go directly 
through an IOMMU, so that "basic requirement" seems like a pretty big 
assumption.

Ah, so this will at least build OK with RPMSG=m, but I doubt it does 
what you want it to in that case.
