SMCCC v1.2 allows x8-x17 to be used as parameter registers and x4—x17
to be used as result registers in SMC64/HVC64. Arm Firmware Framework
for Armv8-A specification makes use of x0-x7 as parameter and result
registers. There are other users like Hyper-V who intend to use beyond
x0-x7 as well.

Current SMCCC interface in the kernel just use x0-x7 as parameter and
x0-x3 as result registers as required by SMCCCv1.0. Let us add new
interface to support this extended set of input/output registers namely
x0-x17 as both parameter and result registers.

I have one minor comment below, otherwise this looks good to me, and

It might be worth making the args parameter to these const, since we
never write to it in the asm.

Makes sense, will fix it. Thanks for the review.
