+ /sys/bus/rpmsg/devices/.../name above) and have a local
+ ("source") rpmsg address, and remote ("destination") rpmsg

+
+ A channel is first created when an entity, whether local

+
+ When that happens, a "name service" announcement is sent
+ to the other processor, in order to let it know about the

+ can start sending messages).

+ server channel that is announced (values are either
+ true or false).
