Because libtock-rs uses static linking, it is difficult to run two Rust apps on one board. Few or none of the existing Tock platforms support statically linking multiple apps, making the IPC code untestable. To avoid having code and examples that cannot practically be used -- and to allow tests to pass -- we can remove all IPC code and its use cases.

Great, thanks a lot. I'll add tests for Trait objects, global muts and GPIO in a separate PR.
