I'm not convinced that's a realistic assumption going forwards - I
certainly hope it isn't.  Currently TEE code tends to be only built for
verticial systems because of this lack of standardiation (and the fact
that so much is proprietary at the minute) but hopefully one of the
results of having a reusable solution in the standard kernel with an
open platform for the secure side will be that people will be more able
to use this, perhaps in applications where things like single kernel
support are much more important than they are for the environments where
TEEs are currently deployed.
