I don't share the same naming concerns you have (if any, then
confusion with the bluetooth AMP patches and prefixes is more of a
concern to me), but I don't care deeply about names.

Feel free to offer a different name, though really 'amp' here only
describes the general model and motivation and is rarely used
throughout the code; we mostly either use 'remoteproc' or 'rpmsg',
which respectively refer to the two frameworks that are being added
(the former responsible for controlling the state of the remote
processors, and the latter for communicating with them).

Thanks,
Ohad.
