smd is pretty much my fault at this point, though Arve hacks on the
PM-related bits.

The latest incarnation of the rpcrouter is me, with a lot of the
original work by Iliyan, based heavily on the work Qualcomm did (thus
their copyright on it as well as Google's).

qdsp5 is Iliyan.

Might be worth breaking these into at least three pieces (smd,
rpcrouter, qdsp5)?

Are you highly opposed to having smd and rpcrouter under
arch/arm/mach-msm?  They're (for better or worse) pretty integral to
the core operation of the platform (suspend/resume and a lot of other
core SoC functions require coordination with the modem core).

The qdsp5 stuff could exist elsewhere easily (though I'm not sure
where the logical place is), and stuff on top of it like the v4l2
camera stuff has obvious homes in the usual driver hierarchy.
