KVM: arm64: Forward FFA_NOTIFICATION_BITMAP calls to Trustzone
This commit allows FF-A notification bitmap messages to be forwarded to
Trustzone from the host kernel driver. It also intends to enforce checking
for SBZ (Should Be Zero) fields.

[Severity: Medium]
The commit message mentions enforcing checks for SBZ fields. For the
FFA_NOTIFICATION_BITMAP_CREATE call, the w2 register contains the
vcpu_count in bits [15:0], while bits [31:16] are defined as MBZ
(Must Be Zero) by the FF-A specification.
While ffa_check_unused_args_sbz() correctly verifies that fully unused
registers (w3-w17) are zero, does this miss validating the upper 16 bits
of the partially-used w2 register before it is passed to TrustZone?
