Add the new hcall HVC_CALL_FUNC that allows execution of a function at EL2. During CPU reset the CPU must be brought to the exception level it had on entry to the kernel. The HVC_CALL_FUNC hcall will provide the mechanism needed for this exception level switch. To allow the HVC_CALL_FUNC exception vector to work without a stack, which is needed to support an hcall at CPU reset, this implementation uses register x18 to store the link register across the caller provided function. This dictates that the caller provided function must preserve the contents of register x18.
