As a minor nit, could we please give call this something like
arm_smccc_1_1_call() or arm_smccc_1_1_invoke(), to make it clear what
action this performs?

I had some patches [1] cleaning up the SMCCC API, it would be nice if we
could pick up some of those as preparatory bits, before we spread some
of the current design warts (e.g. SMCCC depending on PSCI definitions).

Thanks,
Mark.
