Add ARM64-specific code to make Hyper-V hypercalls and to

Hypercalls use a Hyper-V specific calling sequence with a non-zero
immediate value per Section 2.9 of the SMC Calling Convention
spec.
I find this "following the spec by actively sidestepping it" counter
productive. You (or rather the Hyper-V people) are reinventing the
wheel (of the slightly square variety) instead of using the standard
that the whole of the ARM ecosystem seems happy to take advantage
of.
I wonder what is the rational for this. If something doesn't quite
work for Hyper-V, I think we'd all like to know.
Thanks,
