Andrew Scull 0794a974d7 smccc: Use separate variables for args and results
Using the same register-bound variable for both arguments and results
means these values share a type. That type must allow the arguments to
be assigned to it and must also be assignable to the unsigned long
fields of struct arm_smccc_res.

This restriction on types causes compiler warnings when the argument
cannot be implicitly assigned to an unsigned long, for example the
pointers that are used in the KVM hyp interface.

By separating the arguments and results into their own variables, the
type constraint is lifted allowing the arguments to avoid the need for
any type conversion.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
