Initial patch for generic TEE subsystem.
This subsystem provides:
* Registration/un-registration of TEE drivers.
* Shared memory between normal world and secure world.
* Ioctl interface for interaction with user space.
* Sysfs implementation_id of TEE driver

A TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) driver is a driver that interfaces
with a trusted OS running in some secure environment, for example,
TrustZone on ARM cpus, or a separate secure co-processor etc.

The TEE subsystem can serve a TEE driver for a Global Platform compliant
TEE, but it's not limited to only Global Platform TEEs.

This patch builds on other similar implementations trying to solve
the same problem:
* "optee_linuxdriver" by among others
  Jean-michel DELORME[off-list ref] and
  Emmanuel MICHEL [off-list ref]
* "Generic TrustZone Driver" by Javier Gonz?lez [off-list ref]

Can you give an example for a system that would contain more than one
TEE? I see that you support dynamic registration, and it's clear that
there can be more than one type of TEE, but why would one have more
than one at a time, and why not more than 32?

It would be good to have an upper bound on the number of parameters
to limit the size of the memory allocation here.

I don't understand what you are protecting against here.
How would we get to this function twice for the same device?

Could you change the caller so it doesn't happen?

Having a union in an ioctl argument seems odd. Have you considered
using two different ioctl command numbers depending on the type?

I'd make that 

	struct tee_ioctl_param params[0];

as wel here, as I also commented in patch 3 that has a similar structure.
