It's virtio-rng, not virtio-ring.

Pull "remoteproc/rpmsg: new subsystem" from Arnd Bergmann:
"This new subsystem provides a common way to talk to secondary
processors on an SoC, e.g. a DSP, GPU or service processor, using
virtio as the transport. In the long run, it should replace a few
dozen vendor specific ways to do the same thing, which all never made
it into the upstream kernel. There is a broad agreement that rpmsg is
the way to go here and several vendors have started working on
replacing their own subsystems.
Two branches each add one virtio protocol number. Fortunately the
numbers were agreed upon in advance, so there are only context
changes.

Fixed up trivial protocol number conflict due to the mentioned additions
next to each other.

The virtio-scsi HBA is the basis of an alternative storage stack
for QEMU-based virtual machines (including KVM). Compared to
virtio-blk it is more scalable, because it supports many LUNs
on a single PCI slot), more powerful (it more easily supports
passthrough of host devices to the guest) and more easily
extensible (new SCSI features implemented by QEMU should not
require updating the driver in the guest).

Add a virtio-based inter-processor communication bus, which enables
kernel drivers to communicate with entities, running on remote
processors, over shared memory using a simple messaging protocol.
Every pair of AMP processors share two vrings, which are used to send
and receive the messages over shared memory.
The header of every message sent on the rpmsg bus contains src and dst
addresses, which make it possible to multiplex several rpmsg channels on
the same vring.
Every rpmsg channel is a device on this bus. When a channel is added,
and an appropriate rpmsg driver is found and probed, it is also assigned
a local rpmsg address, which is then bound to the driver's callback.
When inbound messages carry the local address of a bound driver,
its callback is invoked by the bus.
This patch provides a kernel interface only; user space interfaces
will be later exposed by kernel users of this rpmsg bus.

It's unclear to me if it's important, but it's obviously causing my
technical colleages some headaches and I'd hate such imprecision to
slow virtio adoption.
I've emailed this to all non-trivial contributors for approval, too.

Virtio IDs are spread all over the tree which makes assigning new IDs
bothersome. Putting them together should make the process less error-prone.
