The KVM/arm64 uses SMCCC to detect hypervisor presence. That code is private, and it follows the SMCCC specification. Other existing and emerging hypervisor guest implementations can and should use that standard approach as well. Factor out a common infrastructure that the guests can use, update KVM to employ the new API. The central notion of the SMCCC method is the UUID of the hypervisor, and the new API follows that. No functional changes. Validated with a KVM/arm64 guest.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
