I see. I came across the linux [0] tree which has
jailhouse-enabling/x.x branches. Is this a good starting point for
Linux? These branches merge Linux releases into the jailhouse kernel
which makes it a bit difficult to track the changes specifically made
to jailhouse. For example, for the 4.19 branch it's currently on
v4.19.81 whereas I plan to work on 4.19.198 which makes porting things
a bit difficult.

I see the tf-a and u-boot do point to upstream with some tiny patches.
For example, for xilinx SDEI is enabled in TF-A. Is this required?
(I'm still reading through the docs so this nooby question!)

My plan is to start with the Renesas RZ/V2L SoC (cortex a55 with
gic-v3), but will soon switch over to the Renesas RZ/G2M SoC (cortex
a57 with gic-400).
