Largely cribbed from x86, register names differ and the return value is r0 ==
the first argument rather than the hypercall number (which is r12).
Multicall variant is untested, arms do_multicall_call is currently a BUG() so
we obviously don't use that yet. I have left a BUG in the hypercall
continuation path too since it will need validation once multicalls are
implemented.
Since the multicall state is local we do not need a globally atomic
{test,set}_bit. However we do need to be atomic WRT interrupts so can't just
use the naive RMW version. Stick with the global atomic implementation for now
but keep the __ as documentaion of the intention.
We cannot clobber all argument registers in a debug build anymore
because continuations expect them to be preserved. Add nr_args field to the
hypercall dispatch array and use it to only clobber the unused hypercall
arguments.
While debugging this I noticed that hypercall dispatch will happily run off the
end of the hypercall dispatch array, add a suitable bounds check. Also make the
use of an hvc immediate argument other than XEN_HYPERCALL_TAG fatal to the
guest.

I had rc = arg and lined it up then chaned it back without realigning,
thanks for pointing it out.

I just noticed it while adding the bounds check. A guest which makes a
hypercall with the wrong tag is either malicious or about to fail
horribly, there's no reason to allow them to keep living.

I don't think so: it could just be a misconfigured guest, trying to
initialize KVM support before Xen.

Or it could be some other guest doing something else entirely, which
we've never heard of and with a different semantics for ENOSYS type
return values etc.
It is clearly bogus for a guest to be making a KVM hypercall on Xen (and
vice versa). We should provide a reliable way to detect the exact
hypervisor and enforce its use.
