By the "normal rpmsg API" I mean register_rpmsg_driver(), rpmsg_send(), etc. That API is not tied to virtio in any way and there are other non-virtio backends for this API in the tree. So it seems quite natural to implement a vhost backend for this API so that both sides of the link can use the same API but different backends, instead of forcing them to use of dif...
