Thanks, I will take a look. The fundamental problem with these things
is that there are infinite amount of ways how TEEs and ROTs can be
done in terms of the hardware and software. I really doubt there are 2
implementations in existence that are even remotely compatible in real
life. As such, all things TEE/ROT would logically really belong in the
userland and thanks to the bpfilter folks now the umh logic really
makes that possible ... I think. The key implementation I did was just
an RFC on the concept, what if we start to move the stuff that really
belongs in the userspace to this pseudo-userland. It's not kernel, but
it's not commonly accessible userland either. The shared memory would
also work without any modifications between the umh based TEE/ROT
driver and the userland if needed.

Anyway, just my .02c. I guess having any new support in the kernel for
new trust sources is good and improvement from the current state. I
can certainly make my stuff work with your setup as well, what ever
people think is the best.
