I guess he means things like the DSPs found in OMAP SoCs, SGI's VICE, possibly
Cell's SPEs, maybe even things like the 8051 integrated into things like the
Silicon Motion SM502. May or may not have their own MMUs or analogues ( VICE
has some private RAM and host-controlled DMA machinery for example ), usually
there's a mechanism to send interrupts between host and peripheral
processors.
have fun
