The biggest challenge, however, is probably going to get the number of devices needed to get Android booting properly so that you can interact with it working on the virt board. For example, I'm not sure how you plan on dealing with the framebuffer/graphics. Personally, for a quick solution, I would probably go the other route and first try to make Android run under KVM using the Ranchu device without any secure component. Then I would look at bringing together the work in whichever of the two platforms you prefer. The Ranchu platform should be relatively similar to the virt platform, so I wouldn't expect too much work in getting OP-TEE compiled and running with Ranchu.
