Thanks. in that case, we can return false for FFA_CONSOLE_LOG
unconditionally.

Nope. I think you don't think you miss anything and
I also think about it.

But, I'm not sure about "support" means in the pkvm about FF-A.
Anyway unless the SPMC doesn't support the specific FF-A ABI,
I don't know that's meaningful to return "TRUE" in here.
IOW, suppose pkvm returns supports of  FFA_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_REQ2
but user receive when it calls FFA_MSG_SEND_DIRECT_REQ2 with NOT SUPPORTED.

I'm not sure this inconsistency is allowed or not so as a defensive
perspective.

If that allows, I don't have a any special comment for this.

Thanks!
