                                                      ^ BAO_SBI_EXT_ID

Using the experimental extension ID space would be fine for an RFC, but
this can't be merged until an SBI implementation ID for Bao is added to
the RISC-V SBI spec. Then the Bao EID would be '0xA000000 | <Bao-IMP-ID>'

I think we'll also need to discuss whether or not firmware/hypervisor-
specific extensions are exempt from all rules in chapter 3 of the SBI
spec other than a7 being the EID. If not, then this function should
just call __sbi_ecall() and the Bao hypercalls will not be allowed to
modify any registers except a0 and a1.
