This part looks good (and really I think this is the right thing to do).
But turning RPMSG_VIRTIO into a user selectable item makes it invalid to
"select RPMSG_VIRTIO" from drivers/remoteproc/Kconfig.

Can you please as part of this change remove those selects and as a
separate patch add CONFIG_RPMSG_VIRTIO=m to
arch/arm/configs/multi_v7_defconfig?

Thanks,
Bjorn
