Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when
they want to support a custom read/write function op. This leads to a
proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire
tree.
Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we
can replace all the users of this function with simple_open().
This replacement was done with the following semantic patch:
<smpl>
@ open @
identifier open_f != simple_open;

@@
-int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f)

rproc_handle_resources() looks for the resource table and then
invokes a resource handler function which it took as a parameter.
This works, but it's a bit unintuitive to follow.
Instead of passing around function pointers, this patch changes
rproc_handle_resource() to just find and return the resource table,
and then the calling sites of rproc_handle_resource() invoke their
resource handlers directly.

Remove the hardcoded vring alignment of 4096 bytes,
and instead utilize tha vring alignment as specified in
the resource table.
This is needed for remote processors that have rigid
memory requirement, and which have found the alignment of
4096 bytes to be excessively big.

Now that remoteproc supports any number of virtio devices,
the previous sanity check in omap_rproc_mbox_callback
doesn't make sense anymore.
Remove that so we can start supporting multiple vdevs.

Now that the resource table supports publishing a virtio device
in a single resource entry, firmware images can start supporting
more than a single vdev.
This patch removes the single vdev limitation of the remoteproc
framework so multi-vdev firmwares can be leveraged: VDEV resource
entries are parsed when the rproc is registered, and as a result
their vrings are set up and the virtio devices are registered
(and they go away when the rproc goes away).
Moreover, we no longer only support VIRTIO_ID_RPMSG vdevs; any
virtio device type goes now. As a result, there's no more any
rpmsg-specific APIs or code in remoteproc: it all becomes generic
virtio handling.

Boot the remote processor only after setting up the virtqueues,
and shut it down before deleting them.
Remote processors should obey virtio status changes, and
therefore not manipulate/trigger the virtqueues while the virtio
driver isn't ready, but it's just safer not to rely on that
(plus a vq access might already be inflight while a vdev
status is changed).
We also don't have yet status change notifications, but that's
a temporary limitation.

At this point remoteproc can only register a single VIRTIO_ID_RPMSG virtio
device.
This limitation is going away soon: remoteproc is getting support for
registering any number of virtio devices and of any type (as
published by the firmware of the remote processor).
Rename remoteproc_rpmsg.c to remoteproc_virtio.c in preparation of
this generalization work.

The resource table is an array of 'struct fw_resource' members, where
each resource entry is expressed as a single member of that array.
This approach got us this far, but it has a few drawbacks:
1. Different resource entries end up overloading the same members of 'struct
fw_resource' with different meanings. The resulting code is error prone
and hard to read and maintain.
2. It's impossible to extend 'struct fw_resource' without breaking the
existing firmware images (and we already want to: we can't introduce the
new virito device resource entry with the current scheme).
3. It doesn't scale: 'struct fw_resource' must be as big as the largest
resource entry type. As a result, smaller resource entries end up
utilizing only small part of it.
This is fixed by defining a dedicated structure for every resource type,
and then converting the resource table to a list of type-value members.
Instead of a rigid array of homogeneous structs, the resource table
is turned into a collection of heterogeneous structures.
This way:
1. Resource entries consume exactly the amount of bytes they need.
2. It's easy to extend: just create a new resource entry structure, and assign
it a new type.
3. The code is easier to read and maintain: the structures' members names are
meaningful.
While we're at it, this patch has several other resource table changes:
1. The resource table gains a simple header which contains the
number of entries in the table and their offsets within the table. This
makes the parsing code simpler and easier to read.
2. A version member is added to the resource table. Should we change the
format again, we'll bump up this version to prevent breakage with
existing firmware images.
3. The VRING and VIRTIO_DEV resource entries are combined to a single
VDEV entry. This paves the way to supporting multiple VDEV entries.
4. Since we don't really support 64-bit rprocs yet, convert two stray u64
members to u32.

When creating a virtqueue for rpmsg, tell virtio we're not interested
in "weak" smp barriers, since we're talking to a real device.
On ARM, this means using a DSB instead of a DMB, which is needed
for platforms that kick the remote processor using some kind of
a mailbox device mapped to Device memory (otherwise the kick can
jump ahead and wake the remote processor before it has observed
the changes to the vrings).

Remoteproc is still under development and as it gets traction we
definitely expect to do some changes in the binary format (most probably
only in the resource table, e.g. the upcoming move to TLV-based entries).
Active testing and use of remoteproc is most welcome, but we don't want
users to expect backward binary compatibility with the preliminary
images we have today.
Therefore mark remoteproc as EXPERIMENTAL, and explicitly inform the user
about this when a new remote processor is registered.

Let remoteproc know when the firmware doesn't support any virtio
functionality, so registering a virtio device can be avoided.
This is needed for remote processors that doesn't require any
virtio-based communications, but are still controlled via remoteproc.

Not all remote processors employ an IOMMU, so do not error out
on !iommu_present().
Note: we currently still use iommu_present() to tell whether we need
to configure an IOMMU or not. That works for simple cases, but will
easily fail with more complicated ones (e.g. where an IOMMU exists,
but not all remote processors use it). When those use cases show up,
we will solve them by introducing something like remoteproc hw
capabilities.

Add a remoteproc driver for OMAP4, so we can boot the dual-M3 and
and DSP subsystems.
Use the omap_device_* API to control the hardware state, and utilize
the OMAP mailbox to interrupt the remote processor when a new message
is pending (the mailbox payload is used to tell it which virtqueue was
the message placed in).
Conversely, when an inbound mailbox message arrives, tell the remoteproc
core which virtqueue is triggered.
Later we will also use the mailbox payload to signal omap-specific
events like remote crashes (which will be used to trigger remoteproc
recovery) and power management transitions. At that point we will also
extend the remoteproc core to support this.
Based on (but now quite far from) work done by Fernando Guzman Lugo

Create an rpmsg virtio device to allow message-based communication
with the remote processor (but only if supported by its firmware).
There are several advantages to provide this functionality at
the remoteproc-level:
- to support it, platforms only have to provide their own ->kick()
handler; no need to duplicate the rest of the code.
- the virtio device is created only when the remote processor is
registered and ready to go. No need to depend on initcall magic.
moreover, we only add the virtio device if the firmware really
supports it, and only after we know the supported virtio device features.
- correct device model hierarchy can be set, and that is useful
for natural power management and DMA API behavior.
- when the remote processor crashes (or removed) we only need
to remove the virtio device, and the driver core will take care of
the rest. No need to implement any out-of-bound notifiers.
- we can now easily bind the virtio device to its rproc handle, and
this way we don't need any name-based remoteproc ->get() API.
Currently we only support creating a single rpmsg virtio device per
remote processor, but later this is going to be extended to support
creating numerous virtio devices of other types too (block, net,
console...).

Modern SoCs typically employ a central symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)
application processor running Linux, with several other asymmetric
multiprocessing (AMP) heterogeneous processors running different instances
of operating system, whether Linux or any other flavor of real-time OS.
Booting a remote processor in an AMP configuration typically involves:
- Loading a firmware which contains the OS image
- Allocating and providing it required system resources (e.g. memory)
- Programming an IOMMU (when relevant)
- Powering on the device
This patch introduces a generic framework that allows drivers to do
that. In the future, this framework will also include runtime power
management and error recovery.
