Thanks for doing this!

Hmm. What does a test failure look like without CONFIG_EL2_NVHE_DEBUG
enabled? Do we still get file:line information?

Should we recheck the unshare transitions here?

We could check unshare_ffa here.

Is it worth trying an extra pin + unpin?

Can we assert an exact value (e.g. count == 1)?

unshare_ffa again here.

Is this block actually testing anything new? Once we've asserted the page
state and checked the refcount, the transitions seem redundant to me.

Try it twice?
