[PATCH v4 0/2] Allow parameter in smc/hvc calls

From: Nikunj Kela

Currently, smc/hvc calls are made with parameters set
to zeros. We are using multiple scmi instances within
a VM. We are sharing the same smc-id(func_id) with all
scmi instance. The hypervisor needs a way to distinguish
among hvc calls made from different instances.

This patch series introduces new compatible string which
can be used to pass shmem channel address as parameters
to smc/hvc calls.

---
v4 -> split shmem address into 4KB-pages and offset

v3 -> pass shmem channel address as parameter

v2 -> fix the compilation erros on 32bit platform(see below)
