Hi Arun,

If you wish to have this reviewed in any depth, please:

 - Base your patches on mainline, or at the very least provide a pointer
   to the branch the patch is based upon.

 - Test that this functions with and without CONFIG_KVM.

 - Post this as an RFC PATCH, complete with a rationale (as previously
   discussed).

 - For later revisions, please label the patches with a version and give
   adequate delay between postings to allow for review.

I've given some comments below, but please post proper patches in
future.

You need to stash the orignal lr, or we can't return from
__hyp_call_func.

These will be called at EL1, so this breaks KVM.

Please base your patches on mainline (or if you need the fixed-up
soft_restart, the arm64 devel branch).

I thought we'd shot down the idea of the secondary_shutdown call.

The callers of those functions _must_ be updated in this patch to use
the new hypercall mechanism.

Thanks,
Mark.
