It really is a terrible mess. The new and improved type checking makes
it very hard for stuff like errno_to_smccc(), which seems to be
designed to avoid any form of C type checking.

Things like __pkvm_init_vm() would need to return a struct by value, I
expect.

Please rebase on top of Fuad's stuff...

Thanks,

	M.
