This definitely looks correct and is a good solution, so

I hate to be a stickler about this, but I think the comment explaining
the KVM/ARM Hypervisor ABI needs to be tweaked (it may have been too
verbose to begin with), but it should be updated at least to specify the
special-case handling of r0.  I think a small comment somewhere on the
arm64 part would be similarly nice, but it's not something that should
hold this patch back.
