/**
 * @brief IPC Service API
 * @defgroup ipc_service_api IPC service APIs
 * @{
 *
 * Some terminology:
 *
 * - INSTANCE: an instance is the external representation of a physical
 *             communication channel between two domains / CPUs.
 *
 *             The actual implementation and internal representation of the
 *             instance is peculiar to each backend. For example for
 *             OpenAMP-based backends, an instance is usually represented by a
 *             shared memory region and a couple of IPM devices for RX/TX
 *             signalling.
 *
 *             It's important to note that an instance per se is not used to
 *             send data between domains / CPUs. To send and receive data the
 *             user have to create (register) an endpoint in the instance
 *             connecting the two domains of interest.
 *
 *             It's possible to have zero or multiple endpoints in one single
 *             instance, each one used to exchange data, possibly with different
 *             priorities.
 *
 *             The creation of the instances is left to the backend (usually at
 *             init time), while the registration of the endpoints is left to
 *             the user (usually at run time).
 *
 * - ENDPOINT: an endpoint is the entity the user must use to send / receive
 *             data between two domains (connected by the instance). An
 *             endpoint is always associated to an instance.
 *
 * - BACKEND: the backend must take care of at least two different things:
 *
 *            1) creating the instances at init time
 *            2) creating / registering the endpoints onto an instance at run
 *               time when requested by the user
 *
 *            The API doesn't mandate a way for the backend to create the
 *            instances but itis strongly recommended to use the DT to retrieve
 *            the configuration parameters for the instance.
