bb538effdc soc: apple: rtkit: Port to the internal mailbox driver
Now that we have a mailbox driver in drivers/soc/apple, port the RTKit
code to it. This mostly just entails replacing calls through the mailbox
subsystem with direct calls into the driver.

9bd1d9a0d8 soc: apple: Add RTKit IPC library
Apple SoCs such as the M1 come with multiple embedded co-processors
running proprietary firmware. Communication with those is established
over a simple mailbox using the RTKit IPC protocol.

This cannot be implemented inside the mailbox subsystem since on top
of communication over channels we also need support for starting,
hibernating and resetting these co-processors. We also need to
handle shared memory allocations differently depending on the
co-processor and don't want to split that across multiple drivers.
