[PATCH v9 1/7] smccc: Add HVC call variant with result registers other than 0 thru 3

[Michael Kelley]

Hypercalls to Hyper-V on ARM64 may return results in registers other
than X0 thru X3, as permitted by the SMCCC spec version 1.2 and later.
Accommodate this by adding a variant of arm_smccc_1_1_hvc that allows
the caller to specify which 3 registers are returned in addition to X0.

There are several ways to support returning results from registers
other than X0 thru X3, and Hyper-V usage should be compatible with
whatever the maintainers prefer.  What's implemented in this patch
may be the most flexible, but it has the downside of not being a
true function interface in that args 0 thru 2 must be fixed strings,
and not general "C" expressions.

Other alternatives include:
* Create a variant that hard codes to return X5 thru X7, though
  in the future there may be Hyper-V hypercalls that need a
  different hard-coded variant.
* Return all of X0 thru X7 in a larger result structure. That
  approach may execute more memory stores, but performance is unlikely
  to be an issue for the Hyper-V hypercalls that would use it.
  However, it's possible in the future that Hyper-V results might
  be beyond X7, as allowed by the SMCCC v1.3 spec.
* The macro __arm_smccc_1_1() could be cloned in Hyper-V specific
  code and modified to meet Hyper-V specific needs, but this seems
  undesirable since Hyper-V is operating within the v1.2 spec.

In any of these cases, the call might be renamed from "_1_1_" to
"_1_2_" to reflect conformance to the later spec version.
