Like Robin and Sudeep here, I do not understand why the kernel should

Can we rely on there being a more trusted level of software than
Linux on a system?  It wasn't standard to have anything on 32 bit
Arm systems as far as I remember so you could end up with some IP
blocks intended to support TrustZone sitting idle.
