My goal here was to decorrelate the remote virtio from the remote proc,
so that platforms based on a non-virtio solution do not embed the code.
By reading your commentary it jumps out at me that that's stupid. The
REMOTEPROC_VIRTIO config is useless as the remoteproc_virtio must be kept
built-in for legacy compatibility.
