Yeah, we're trying to figure out the best way to do socket-based
communication between various images within a SoC.  I was thinking that
some kind of registration scheme would be necessary for the new AF to
support different SoCs and communication mechanisms.  We'll take a look
at ways to have a generic implementation.  Thanks.
