What I am missing from all this is a description on how to test this and
what's needed in OP-TEE and EDK2.
Unless I am reading this wrong, there is a "new" Secure Partition that will
handle both the efi variables (along with all the EFI rules you need to update
those and the crypto checks you need for authenticated variables). But StMM
includes the hardware drivers as well. How is that handled in the SP
context?

The naming is a bit misleading imho. FF-A is the transport mechanism between the
secure and non-secure world. You may as well have FF-A along with OP-TEE.
That doesn't automatically mean the SP is used instead of StMM.
This code is complicated already, I don't think we want the additional
ifdefery. Wouldn't it be better to have this discover to what kind of
protocol (e.g FF-A vs SMC calling conventions) it talks to? SPs are
discoverable, so we could reason about those as well without asking the
user to understand Arm protocol internals.

There are several calls around on runtime code which call functions not
marked as runtime. This will just crash when called.

It can also fail on normal cases were the size is != 0
