Support FFA_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_REQ unconditionally.
Support FFA_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_REQ2 if hypervisor negotiated version 1.2+.
Framework messages (FF-A control plane) are filtered out. For
FFA_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_REQ, we look at flags in w2. Messages using the REQ2
interface are always partition messages.
The second patch was part of a previous patch set [0] but was dropped
since the use case was unclear. A clear use case has now appeared: use
TPM device with CRB over FF-A when kernel boots with pkvm [1].
Tested by booting Android under QEMU.
Best Regards,
Per

Allow direct messages to be forwarded from the host. The host should
not be sending framework messages so they are filtered out.

FF-A 1.2 adds the DIRECT_REQ2 messaging interface which is similar to
the existing FFA_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_{REQ,RESP} functions and can use the
existing handler function. Add support for FFA_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_REQ2 in
the host ffa handler.
