I'm conflicted here. On the one hand I agree with you - it would be
better to use types that are sized according to the RMM spec. However,
this file is a thin wrapper around the low-level SMC calls, and the
SMCCC interface is a bunch of "unsigned longs" (e.g. look at struct
arm_smccc_1_2_regs).

In particular it could be broken to use smaller types (e.g. char/u8) as
it would potentially permit the compiler to leave 'junk' in the top part
of the register.

So the question becomes whether to stick with the SMCCC interface sizes
(unsigned long) or use our knowledge that it must be a 64 bit platform
(RMM isn't support for 32 bit) and therefore use u64. My (mild)
preference is for unsigned long because it makes it obvious how this
relates to the SMCCC interface it's using. It also seems like it would
ease compatibility if (/when?) 128 bit registers become a thing.

> Also as per spec, RTT level is Int64, can we change accordingly?

Here, however, I agree you've definitely got a point. level should be
signed as (at least in theory) it could be negative.

I will do, thanks for the review.
