If I make the list part of gh_rm, the core gunyah framework would need 
to know and be dependent on all possible VM functions. This prevents 
CONFIG_GUNYAH=y and CONFIG_GUNYAH_IRQFD=m (or any other function from 
being enabled as a module). I also see a 2-way dependency when enabled 
all enabled as modules. This approach seems vastly simpler.

That's correct -- arg is value in cases where size is zero. It might be 
a bit too strange, and I'm not opposed to always treating arg as pointer 
when size >= 0 and none of the "arg is value". In vCPU and several other 
possible functions we have (presently) downstream, the only argument a 
only a 32-bit integer label. I thought it would be good to optimize this 
path.

I'm not able to think of a function where this is valid. This is handled 
today because the ->bind() callback returns an error. This happens if 
the resource ticket was already created, e.g. same vCPU is requested twice.

This should be handled at function level because two arguments could be 
different but request the same resource. For instance, two 
GH_VM_ADD_FUNCTION to create irqfd with same doorbell. One call is with 
LEVEL flag and the other doesn't have the flag set. Only once we try to 
register the doorbell resource ticket do we realize that 2nd 
GH_VM_ADD_FUNCTION should fail.

I was concerned about removal of function outside of module_removal, but
