Thanks, Mark, for jumping in on the SMCCC hypercall interface.  But I'm still
looking for feedback or ACKs on the other patches in the series.  There's only
one place in Patch 2 of the series that needs the SMCCC v1.2 interface, and I'd
like to be able to respond to any remaining issues with the other patches
while the SMCCC details are finished up.
