arm_ffa: efi: introduce FF-A MM communication
Add MM communication support using FF-A transport
This feature allows accessing MM partitions services through
EFI MM communication protocol. MM partitions such as StandAlonneMM
or smm-gateway secure partitions which reside in secure world.
An MM shared buffer and a door bell event are used to exchange
the data.
The data is used by EFI services such as GetVariable()/SetVariable()
and copied from the communication buffer to the MM shared buffer.
The secure partition is notified about availability of data in the
MM shared buffer by an FF-A message (door bell).
On such event, MM SP can read the data and updates the MM shared
buffer with the response data.
The response data is copied back to the communication buffer and
consumed by the EFI subsystem.
MM communication protocol supports FF-A 64-bit direct messaging.
