Since the current merge window is open, there is no rush and hence I had put
this on hold until merge window close. Anyways, it looks good in general.
Couple of minor nits below:

Drop the term "patch". You can refer it as change. It is not match after
it is applied to the git.

Since we are dealing with 4kB pages only, I prefer to do:
#define SHMEM_SIZE (SZ_4K)
#define SHMEM_SHIFT 12
#define SHMEM_PAGE(x) (_UL((x) >> SHMEM_SHIFT))

Also it is definitely worth adding comment about supporting just 4kB pages
and limitations associated with it here(e.g. we can support up to 44 bit
address) and also parameters to the SMC call so that others get clear
idea on how to use it if they need that in the future.

While I see you initialise param in smc_chan_setup, I wonder why the page
and offset itself be initialised once and reused instead of computing the
same fixed value on every smc_send_message. You can probably have param_page
and param_offset stashed instead of just single param value ?
