Initial implementation of this patch only put restriction for single
implementation-defined login method (TEE_IOCTL_LOGIN_REE_KERNEL) only.
But after discussion with Jens here [1], I have changed that to
restrict complete implementation-defined range. If we think to further
partition this range considering API stability then I am open to that
too.

In the end he proposed to reserve half the range for user space and half
for kernel space.

It seems I probably misunderstood his proposal. So let me reserve
(0x80000000 - 0xBFFFFFFF) range for kernel space.
