I learned more details about this to answer your question. "get_uid()" 
is a standardized call that is ARM_SMCCC_VENDOR_HYP_CALL_UID_FUNC_ID 
defined in include/arm-smccc.h. I'll use that.

With above in mind, I decided to simplify the macros and drop the TYPE 
field.

All of the data transfers for hypercalls happen via registers, so 
endianness doesn't have impact here (there is no "low address" in a 
register).

Yes, we would add growing set of well-known hypercalls. 0x0000 would 
only be used here.

Yes, Gunyah can run on other hardware. We have support for QEMU and 
other hardware support is anticipated.

Yes, that guarantee is there.
