This is a small example virtual machine monitor, that uses the base-hw kernel
as TrustZone micro-hypervisor on the ARM Versatile Express CT A9x4 platform.
The VMM configures TrustZone Protection Controller and Address Space Controller
in a way, that allows a guest to access nearly all devices, and the DDR-RAM.
Only few resources needed by the kernel (timer, SRAM) aren't accessable by the
virtual-machine.

Moreover, the VMM prepares the guest memory with a Linux image, and ramdisk,
and boots it. For the Linux guest to work properly a small patch, and tweaked
configuration is needed. Please checkout the following branch to test it:

To build linux do:

! make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=<path_to_cross_compiler> vexpress_tz_defconfig
! make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=<path_to_cross_compiler>
