Will TZ refuse to start the remoteprocs if this is not the case?

This changes files in two separate subsystems. That implies this
patch should be split in two. Or three.

This is a bit hard to read.. How about:

PIL calls require SHMBridge is set up for shared memory regions.
Qualcomm hypervisors (Gunyah, QHEE) already take care of this.
Only create new bridges if they're absent.
