Marc, Christopher, comments please?

OK, I changed this so that HVC_CALL_HYP is the default at 0.

Yes, I assume the compiler will not expect them to be preserved.  I
missed __invoke_psci_fn_hvc.  Can we just add x17 and x18 to the
clobbered list?

        asm volatile(
                        __asmeq("%0", "x0")
                        __asmeq("%1", "x1")
                        __asmeq("%2", "x2")
                        __asmeq("%3", "x3")
                        "hvc    #0\n"
                : "+r" (function_id)
-               : "r" (arg0), "r" (arg1), "r" (arg2));
+               : "r" (arg0), "r" (arg1), "r" (arg2)
+               : "x17", "x18");

I added a comment regarding this to virt.h where the HVC_XXX macros
are defined.  I'll post that fixed up patch for review.

OK, did that.
