[RFC PATCH v2 5/6] KVM: arm64: Add support for KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL

In anticipation of user hypercall filters, add the necessary plumbing to
get SMCCC calls out to userspace. Even though the exit structure has
space for KVM to pass register arguments, let's just avoid it altogether
and let userspace poke at the registers via KVM_GET_ONE_REG.

This deliberately stretches the definition of a 'hypercall' to cover
SMCs from EL1 in addition to the HVCs we know and love. KVM doesn't
support EL1 calls into secure services, but now we can paint that as a
userspace problem and be done with it.

Finally, we need a flag to let userspace know what conduit instruction
was used (i.e. SMC vs. HVC). Redefine the remaining padding in
kvm_run::hypercall to accomplish this. Let's all take a moment
to admire the flowers and see how 'longmode' tied up a full u32 in the
UAPI. Weep.

-Unused.  This was once used for 'hypercall to userspace'.  To implement
-such functionality, use KVM_EXIT_IO (x86) or KVM_EXIT_MMIO (all except s390).
+
+It is strongly recommended that userspace use ``KVM_EXIT_IO`` (x86) or
+``KVM_EXIT_MMIO`` (all except s390) to implement functionality that
+requires a guest to interact with host userpace.
 
 .. note:: KVM_EXIT_IO is significantly faster than KVM_EXIT_MMIO.
 
+For arm64:
+----------
+
+SMCCC exits can be enabled depending on the configuration of the SMCCC
+filter. See the Documentation/virt/kvm/devices/vm.rst
+``KVM_ARM_SMCCC_FILTER`` for more details.
+
+``nr`` contains the function ID of the guest's SMCCC call. Userspace is
+expected to use the ``KVM_GET_ONE_REG`` ioctl to retrieve the call
+parameters from the vCPU's GPRs.
+
+Definition of ``flags``:
+ - ``KVM_HYPERCALL_EXIT_SMC``: Indicates that the guest used the SMC
+   conduit to initiate the SMCCC call. If this bit is 0 then the guest
+   used the HVC conduit for the SMCCC call.
