[PATCH v4 21/66] KVM: arm64: nv: Handle PSCI call via smc from the guest

From: Jintack Lim <jintack.lim at linaro.org>

VMs used to execute hvc #0 for the psci call if EL3 is not implemented.
However, when we come to provide the virtual EL2 mode to the VM, the
host OS inside the VM calls kvm_call_hyp() which is also hvc #0. So,
it's hard to differentiate between them from the host hypervisor's point
of view.

So, let the VM execute smc instruction for the psci call. On ARMv8.3,
even if EL3 is not implemented, a smc instruction executed at non-secure
EL1 is trapped to EL2 if HCR_EL2.TSC==1, rather than being treated as
UNDEFINED. So, the host hypervisor can handle this psci call without any
confusion.
