Add a function to test early if PSCI is present and what conduit it
uses. Because the PSCI conduit corresponds to the SMCCC one, this will
let the kernel know whether it can use SMC instructions to discuss with
the Realm Management Monitor (RMM), early enough to enable RAM and
serial access when running in a Realm.

However, Will has a point and it would be good if we can avoid this
early setup as much as possible. If it's just the early console used for
debugging, maybe just pass the full IPA address on the command line and
allow those high addresses in fixmap. Not sure about the EFI map.
We could delay the RSI init until we have probed the PSCI conduit.
This could be done from setup_arch(), after the psci_{dt,acpi}_init().
This is safe, as the EFI maps are only created later, as an
early_initcall().
Kind regards
