Subject: [PATCH v3 0/6] virtio_rpmsg: make rpmsg channel configurable

This goal of this series is to offer more flexibility for virtio_rpmsg
communication link configuration.

It should be possible to tune rpmsg buffer size per Rpmsg link, to provide
selected configuration to coprocessor, to take into account coprocessor
specificities like memory region.

This series introduces an optional virtio rpmsg configuration structure, which
will be managed as an extension of struct fw_rsc_vdev present in coprocessor firmware
resource table.
Structure access is possible thanks to virtio get and set API.
This structure contains the different information to tune the link between the
host and the coprocessor.

Patch "rpmsg: virtio_rpmsg_bus: fix sg_set_buf() when addr is not a valid
kernel address" has the same goal as Wendy's RFC [1]. I don't have tested
Wendy's series with level driver buffer allocation.

Last patch "rpmsg: virtio_rpmsg: set buffer configuration to virtio" has a
dependency with remoteproc subdevice boot sequence as coprocessor resource
table must be updated before coprocessor start. See [2]

Changes from v1:
- No more dependency with [2]. Coprocessor firmware should wait for first kick
indicating virtio rpmsg link ready before accessing resource table information.
- Correct issues reported by Suman
- Fix warnings found by checkpatch with --strict option

Changes from v2:
- Fix warnings reported by kbuild test robot
