[PATCHv8 0/3]virtio_console: Add rproc_serial driver
From: Sjur Br?ndeland <sjur.brandeland at stericsson.com> This patch-set introduces a new virtio type "rproc_serial" for communicating with remote processors over shared memory. The driver depends on the the remoteproc framework. As preparation for introducing "rproc_serial" I've done a refactoring of the transmit buffer handling. Changes since v7: - Rebased to virtio-next branch. - Removed extra added lines. - Removed superfluous checks before calling reclaim_dma_bufs(). - Rusty raised some question regarding garbage collection of the out-vq, so I moved this into a separate patch.

[PATCH v8 1/3] virtio_console: Merge struct buffer_token into struct port_buffer
From: Sjur Br?ndeland <sjur.brandeland at stericsson.com> Refactoring the splice functionality by unifying the approach for sending scatter-lists and regular buffers. This simplifies buffer handling and reduces code size. Splice will now allocate a port_buffer and send_buf() and free_buf() can always be used for any buffer.

[PATCH v8 2/3] virtio_console: Add support for remoteproc serial
From: Sjur Br?ndeland <sjur.brandeland at stericsson.com> Add a simple serial connection driver called VIRTIO_ID_RPROC_SERIAL (11) for communicating with a remote processor in an asymmetric multi-processing configuration.

Applied, Rusty.

Please pick the virtio spec from https://github.com/rustyrussell/virtio-spec and update the spec with info for remote-proc. Thanks, Amit
