 The plan is also to add static creation of rpmsg channels via the virtio
 config space, but it's not implemented yet.

+Configurable buffer sizes
+=========================
+
+By default each rpmsg buffer is 512 bytes, and the same size is used for both
+the receive and transmit directions. Remote processors that need a different
+size (for example a larger MTU, or different RX and TX queue sizes) can
+advertise it through the virtio device config space by setting the
+VIRTIO_RPMSG_F_BUFSZ feature bit.
+
+When this feature is negotiated, the driver reads struct virtio_rpmsg_config
+from the config space. This structure provides the size of a single buffer for
+each direction (TX and RX). The device should advertise TX/RX buffer sizes
+that already satisfy the alignment constraints of its buffers.
+
+If the feature is not negotiated, the default 512-byte buffers are used for
+both directions.
