Hi Jens,

SMCCC v1.2 [1] AArch64 allows x0-x17 to be used as both parameter
registers and result registers for the SMC and HVC instructions.

Arm Firmware Framework for Armv8-A specification makes use of x0-x7 as
parameter and result registers.

Let us add new interface to support this extended set of input/output
registers.

This is based on 3fdc0cb59d97 ("arm64: smccc: Add support for SMCCCv1.2
extended input/output registers") by Sudeep Holla from the Linux kernel

The SMCCC version reported to the VM is bumped to 1.2 in order to support
handling FF-A messages.

One remark here. The tags are usually added chronologically. So your signed-off-by should be first.

I am not planning to commit this patch until one of the patch using the call is ready. If this happen in this version, then I am happy to fix it on commit. Otherwise, please do it in the next version:
