It looks like the SDEI specification states that the vendor-defined
version number is 32 bits. Could we just use one of the
ARM_SMCCC_VENDOR_HYP_UID_KVM_REG_{0,3} values instead?

ASCII 'KVM' is neat, but in reality guest software will just throw it in
a macro regardless. Might as well use one of the values we've already
trained it to use :-)

Also, it would appear that guest discovery of SDEI relies upon KVM
reporting a valid SDEI version. IMO, this patch should come at the very
end when KVM actually implements SDEI.
