We're assigning the rmtfs memory to MPSS from the time this driver
probes until it is removed. The PIL related memory regions shared with
MPSS is handled by the remoteproc driver, for the duration of the MPSS
being up.

The one issue worth mentioning here is that this extends the dependency
the booting MPSS have on the remote-storage QMI service being
functional, i.e. if this device isn't present, we can't serve
remote-storage requests and MPSS will not function.

I haven't yet come up with a good idea of how to make the MPSS PIL
explicitly depend on the remote-storage service being present.
