I don't know what the ABI for ATF is. I assume it's documented in the 
ATF, PSCI, or similar specification, or ATF source code. Hence, I don't 
know whether ATF restores fp/r11.

My guess is that r3/r4 are set to 0 because they're defined as inputs by 
the SMC/ATF ABI, yet nothing the kernel does needed that many 
parameters, so they're hard-coded to 0 (to ensure they're set to 
something predictable) rather than also being parameters to 
tf_generic_smc().

The original code used to save/restore a lot of registers, including 
r11/fp. Can't we side-step the issue of including/not-including r11/fp 
in the clobber list by not removing those stmfd/ldmfd assembly instructions?
