> The KVM/arm64 uses SMCCC to detect hypervisor presence. That code is
> private, and it follows the SMCCC specification. Other existing and
> emerging hypervisor guest implementations can and should use that
> standard approach as well.
> 
> Factor out a common infrastructure that the guests can use, update KVM
> to employ the new API. The central notion of the SMCCC method is the
> UUID of the hypervisor, and the new API follows that.
> 
> No functional changes. Validated with a KVM/arm64 guest.
