Add the CAIF Virtio shared memory driver for talking
to a modem.
This CAIF Link layer communicates to the modem over
shared memory. It is implemented as a virtio_driver.
The underlying virtio device is managed by the remoteproc
framework. The Virtio queue is used for transmitting data
to the modem, and the new vringh is used for receiving data.
Genalloc is used for managing the shared memory used for TX
data. The default dma-alloc-coherent allocator can only
allocate whole pages, and this wastes too much shared memory.
Flow control is implemented by stopping the TX-queues if the
virtio queues go full or we run out of memory. Queued are
reopened when queues are below the watermark.
NAPI is used in RX path, and a dedicated tasklet is used
for releasing TX buffers.

Add a simple serial connection driver called
VIRTIO_ID_RPROC_SERIAL (11) for communicating with a
remote processor in an asymmetric multi-processing
configuration.
This implementation reuses the existing virtio_console
implementation, and adds support for DMA allocation
of data buffers and disables use of tty console and
the virtio control queue.
