I'm unable to understand this. Steven, could you please explain a bit how
PROT_NS_SHARED is turned to a shared (non-secure) mapping to hardware?
According to tf-rmm's implementation in tf-rmm/lib/s2tt/src/s2tt_pvt_defs.h,
a shared (non-secure) mapping is is identified by NS bit (bit#55). I find
difficulties how the NS bit is correlate with PROT_NS_SHARED. For example,
how the NS bit is set based on PROT_NS_SHARED.
