Given that Mark and Yury reviewed this, I'm assuming this is all
good and have now merged it. However I missed the entire discussion
about it, so I have one question about the implementation:

What happens when user space passes a buffer that is not
backed by regular memory but instead is something it has itself
mapped from a device with special page attributes or physical
properties? Could this be inconsistent when optee and user
space disagree on the caching attributes? Can you get into
trouble if you pass an area from a device that is read-only
in user space but writable from secure world?
