Ok. I was thinking that the command should be treated the same as the
response, since the padding between the response header and response
buffer can be arbitrary (and not under our control). This isn't true for
the command header and command buffer since we define the padding.

I still like the idea of scm_get_command_buffer() though since it duals
scm_get_response_buffer().

No. __scm_call() returns once the request has been accepted. scm_call()
returns once the request has completed. Multiple scm_command's can be in
flight at the same time on the secure side.
