an SError occurs while trapping on SMC. It is still necessary on
HVC though, as HVC doesn't cause a trap, and sets ELR to returning
*after* the HVC.

Something along these lines, yes! ;-)
HVC instruction, meaning that the displacement is always 4 bytes,
no matter what the ISA is. Take this opportunity to simplify it.

Assuming that there is no 16-bit HVC:
It is actually impossible to have a 16bit encoding for HVC, as
it always convey a 16bit immediate, and you need some space
to encode the instruction itself!
