Marc Zyngier b81125c791 arm64: KVM: VHE: Patch out use of HVC
With VHE, the host never issues an HVC instruction to get into the
KVM code, as we can simply branch there.

Use runtime code patching to simplify things a bit.

/*
* u64 kvm_call_hyp(void *hypfn, ...);
*
* This is not really a variadic function in the classic C-way and care must
* be taken when calling this to ensure parameters are passed in registers
* only, since the stack will change between the caller and the callee.
*
* Call the function with the first argument containing a pointer to the
* function you wish to call in Hyp mode, and subsequent arguments will be
* passed as x0, x1, and x2 (a maximum of 3 arguments in addition to the
* function pointer can be passed). The function being called must be mapped
* in Hyp mode (see init_hyp_mode in arch/arm/kvm/arm.c). Return values are
* passed in x0.
*
* A function pointer with a value of 0 has a special meaning, and is
* used to implement __hyp_get_vectors in the same way as in
* arch/arm64/kernel/hyp_stub.S.
