For drivers that can transfer data to the TEE without using shared memory from client, it is necessary to receive the user address directly, bypassing any processing by the TEE subsystem. Introduce TEE_IOCTL_PARAM_ATTR_TYPE_UBUF_INPUT/OUTPUT/INOUT to represent userspace buffers.

Could you expand on this, what is the issue with normal MEMREF?
