Could you please share if we have a working qemu repository on top of this
(v13) series? The previous qemu repository [1] seems out of dated for long
time. I heard Jean won't be able to continue his efforts on QEMU part, who
is going to pick it up in this case.

I'm seeing error to initialize RMM with the suggested RMM branch (topics/rmm-v2.0-poc)
and the upstream TF-A [1]. It seems the problem is compatible issue in the
RMM-EL3 interface. RMM requires verion 2.0 while TF-A only supports 0.8. So
I guess I must be using a wrong TF-A repository. Could you please share which
TF-A repository you use for testing?
