Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] KVM: arm64: Support FF-A direct messaging
 interfaces

Support FFA_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_REQ unconditionally.
Support FFA_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_REQ2 if hypervisor negotiated version 1.2+.

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 [1].

Tested by booting Android under QEMU.

Best Regards,
Per
