[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH 00/14] Virtual bus implementation and SOF multi-client support

[Ranjani Sridharan]

This set of patches introduces the virtual bus implementation along
with the example usage in the Sound Open Firmware(SOF) audio driver.

The primary purpose of the virtual bus is meant to be a minimalist
software-based bus used for connecting virtual devices to be able 
to communicate with each other.

The SOF driver adopts the virtual bus for implementing the multi-client
support. A client in the context of the SOF driver is a device that needs
to communicate with the DSP via IPCs. With multi-client support, the sound
card can be separated into multiple orthogonal virtual devices for
local device (mic/speakers etc), HDMI, sensing, probes, debug etc. 
In this series, we demonstrate the usage of the virtual bus with the help
of the IPC test client which is used for testing the serialization of IPCs
when multiple clients talk to the DSP at the same time.

This version includes a series of incremental changes in virtual-bus based
of Andy and Pierre's comments. These should be squashed with the first commit.
