remoteproc binds rpmsg with virtio, so calling register_rpmsg_driver
should do the job.

Creating a specific device could be another solution. I have no opinion
on what could be the best strategy.
Bjorn, what is your feeling?

A constraint to add in design is  that we should not expose all the
rpmsg device to userland. Except if i missed something, it seems that
activating RPMSG_VIRTIO_CHAR config exposes all the rpmsg devices.

Another alternative is to expose rpmsg to userland trough some generic
interfaces like proxy, tty, FS posix....
