Hi Peter,

AFAICT the series have some minor overlap but mostly they complement each other.
The aarch64 EL3 support I've got so far is very limited. Has mode switching,
separate page tables, SMC etc and that kind of things but no S/NS state yet.
The A64 security state parts can be implemented on top of the Samsung series.

Cheers,
Edgar
