Should this check res.a0 == SMCCC_RET_SUCCESS instead?

This is becoming a very common and useful pattern. I wonder if it's time
for a ucall helper

static void ucall_vcpu_run(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu,
                           void (*sync_func)(struct kvm_vcpu *, void *),
                           void *sync_data)
{
        bool guest_done = false;
        struct ucall uc;

        while (!guest_done) {
                vcpu_run(vcpu);

                switch (get_ucall(vcpu, &uc)) {
                case UCALL_SYNC:
                        if (sync_func)
                                sync_func(vcpu, sync_data);
                        break;
                case UCALL_DONE:
                        guest_done = true;
                        break;
                case UCALL_ABORT:
                        REPORT_GUEST_ASSERT(uc);
                        break;
                case UCALL_PRINTF:
                        printf("%s", uc.buffer);
                        break;
                default:
                        TEST_FAIL("Unexpected guest exit");
                }
        }
}
