No, that's not possible since we don't have a tee_context availble so
we can't assign an ID that userspace can use for this shm object.

We could add new attribute types TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_ATTR_TYPE_MEMFD_*,
but it's a bit more complicated than that since we'd also need to
update for the life cycle.

Yes
