KVM: arm64: Introduce support for userspace SMCCC filtering
As the SMCCC (and related specifications) march towards an 'everything and the kitchen sink' interface for interacting with a system it becomes less likely that KVM will support every related feature. We could do better by letting userspace have a crack at it instead. Allow userspace to define an 'SMCCC filter' that applies to both HVCs and SMCs initiated by the guest. Supporting both conduits with this interface is important for a couple of reasons. Guest SMC usage is table stakes for a nested guest, as HVCs are always taken to the virtual EL2. Additionally, guests may want to interact with a service on the secure side which can now be proxied by userspace.
