When the FF-A driver is running inside a guest VM under an hypervisor, the driver/guest VM doesn't have the permission/capability to request the creation of notification bitmaps. For a VM, the hypervisor reserves memory for its VM and hypervisor framework notification bitmaps and the SPMC reserves memory for its SP and SPMC framework notification bitmaps before the hypervisor initializes it. The hypervisor does not initialize a VM if memory cannot be reserved for all its notification bitmaps. So the creation of all the necessary bitmaps are already done when the driver initialises and hence it can be skipped. We rely on FFA_FEATURES(FFA_NOTIFICATION_BITMAP_CREATE) to fail when running in the guest to handle this in the driver.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
