[PATCH 0/6] xen/arm: ffa: Harden notifications and enable VM-to-VM delivery

[Bertrand Marquis <bertrand.marquis@xxxxxxx>]

This series hardens FF-A notification handling in the Arm FF-A mediator
and completes local delivery for non-secure VM-to-VM notifications.

Hardening and state handling (Patches 1-4):
1) Fix notification pending interrupt delivery when vcpu0 is offline by
   reusing a common global NPI injection helper.
2) Replace the single hypervisor notification boolean with a protected
   HYP bitmap and keep bitmap lifecycle tied to the cached endpoint ID.
3) Tighten notification parameter validation so malformed BIND, UNBIND,
   GET, and SET requests are rejected consistently before reaching
   cached state or the SPMC.
4) Preserve the secure pending indication until secure notifications are
   retrieved, protect the secure pending latch with notif_lock,
   serialize SPMC INFO_GET polling, and keep INFO_GET return width
   consistent with the caller.

Local VM notification delivery (Patches 5-6):
1) Track non-secure VM notification bindings locally, promote pending
   state to a per-bit bitmap, and validate BIND/UNBIND requests
   against that state.
2) Deliver non-secure VM-to-VM notifications locally, track whether a
   local NPI is already armed, and only advertise notification support
   when firmware capabilities or CONFIG_FFA_VM_TO_VM actually provide
   it.

Backward compatibility: v1.0/v1.1 guests remain compatible. Valid
guest-visible notification behavior is preserved; the series only
tightens malformed-request handling and enables local non-secure
VM-to-VM delivery when CONFIG_FFA_VM_TO_VM is enabled.
