I would have expected this patch to be 02 rather than 03. That way the
framework is sent in place and then used by platform code.

If two signals are sent in a row without user space having the time to process
the first one, the second message will overwrite the first one.

The IOCTLs should be generic so that any kind of out-of-band signals.

But as said in patch 01, I'm not sure about the path from AP to RP. Function
rpmsg_set_flow_control() turns into qcom_glink_tx(). In this case it should be
possible for user space to send this information as it does with other kind of
data destined for the remote processor. At the very least the send interface
should be decoupled from the implementation specific nature of this use case.

Lastly, Arnaud has sent patches that refactor rpmsg_eptdev_ioctl(). I would
like that patchset to be dealth with before we move forward with this one. That
way we make sure to avoid supporting features that are incompatible with each
other.
