As the SMCCC (and related specifications) march towards an 'everything and the kitchen sink' interface for interacting with a system it becomes less likely that KVM will support every related feature. We could do better by letting userspace have a crack at it instead. Allow userspace to define an 'SMCCC filter' that applies to both HVCs and SMCs initiated by the guest. Supporting both conduits with this interface is important for a couple of reasons. Guest SMC usage is table stakes for a nested guest, as HVCs are always taken to the virtual EL2. Additionally, guests may want to interact with a service on the secure side which can now be proxied by userspace.

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 Restructured Text 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.
