Allow userspace to request handling PSCI calls from guests. Our goal is
to enable a vCPU hot-add solution for Arm where the VMM presents
possible resources to the guest at boot, and controls which vCPUs can be
brought up by allowing or denying PSCI CPU_ON calls. Passing HVC and
PSCI to userspace has been discussed on the list in the context of vCPU
hot-add [1,2] but it can also be useful for implementing other SMCCC and
vendor hypercalls [3,4,5].

Patches 1-3 allow userspace to request WFI to be executed in KVM. That
way the VMM can easily implement the PSCI CPU_SUSPEND function, which is
mandatory from PSCI v0.2 onwards (even if it doesn't have a more useful
implementation than WFI, natively available to the guest).

Patch 4 lets userspace request any HVC that isn't handled by KVM, and
patch 5 lets userspace request PSCI calls, disabling in-kernel PSCI
handling.

I'm focusing on the PSCI bits, but a complete prototype of vCPU hot-add
for arm64 on Linux and QEMU, most of it from Salil and James, is
available at [6].
