This RFC serie is a first proposal to enable VM to VM communications
through FF-A on Arm.
It is sent as an RFC because some aspects of this serie will need to be
discussed:
- How to control/configure which VM can communicate with which VM
- How to enable this without conflicting with Optee support
- Would a system communicating with Optee without FF-A but using FF-A to
  communicate between VM make any sense

One main feature missing from this serie is the support for memory
sharing or lending through FF-A. Implementing such a feature is raising
the question of how to cleanly have FF-A mem sharing living on the side
of Xen grantables.

This serie must be applied on top of [1] which introduces
some rework of FF-A support required by this patch serie.

!! This patch serie must no be merged !!
