680a0873e1 arm: kernel: Add SMC structure parameter
This patch adds a quirk parameter to the arm_smccc_(smc/hvc) calls.
The quirk structure allows for specialized SMC operations due to SoC
specific requirements.  The current arm_smccc_(smc/hvc) is renamed and
macros are used instead to specify the standard arm_smccc_(smc/hvc) or
the arm_smccc_(smc/hvc)_quirk function.

This patch and partial implementation was suggested by Will Deacon.

8478132a87 Revert "arm: move exports to definitions"
This reverts commit 4dd1837d75.

Moving the exports for assembly code into the assembly files breaks
KSYM trimming, but also breaks modversions.

While fixing the KSYM trimming is trivial, fixing modversions brings
us to a technically worse position that we had prior to the above
change:

- We end up with the prototype definitions divorsed from everything
  else, which means that adding or removing assembly level ksyms
  become more fragile:
  * if adding a new assembly ksyms export, a missed prototype in
    asm-prototypes.h results in a successful build if no module in
    the selected configuration makes use of the symbol.
  * when removing a ksyms export, asm-prototypes.h will get forgotten,
    with armksyms.c, you'll get a build error if you forget to touch
    the file.

- We end up with the same amount of include files and prototypes,
  they're just in a header file instead of a .c file with their
  exports.

As for lines of code, we don't get much of a size reduction:
 (original commit)
 47 files changed, 131 insertions(+), 208 deletions(-)
 (fix for ksyms trimming)
 7 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-)
 (two fixes for modversions)
 1 file changed, 34 insertions(+)
 3 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
which results in a net total of only 25 lines deleted.

As there does not seem to be much benefit from this change of approach,
revert the change.

b329f95d70 ARM: 8479/2: add implementation for arm-smccc
Adds implementation for arm-smccc and enables CONFIG_HAVE_SMCCC for
architectures that may support arm-smccc. It's the responsibility of the
caller to know if the SMC instruction is supported by the platform.
