In anticipation of user hypercall filters, add the necessary plumbing to get SMCCC calls out to userspace. Even though the exit structure has space for KVM to pass register arguments, let's just avoid it altogether and let userspace poke at the registers via KVM_GET_ONE_REG. This deliberately stretches the definition of a 'hypercall' to cover SMCs from EL1 in addition to the HVCs we know and love. KVM doesn't support EL1 calls into secure services, but now we can paint that as a userspace problem and be done with it. Finally, we need a flag to let userspace know what conduit instruction was used (i.e. SMC vs. HVC).

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.
