The Arm SMC calling convention standard v1.2 allows 8 input and output
parameter registers. The FF-A specification relies on this
communication. This patch extends the number of output registers
returned by ArmCallSvc() to match this convention.

Supervisor Call instruction (SVC) is used by the Arm Standalone MM
environment to request services from the privileged software (such as
ARM Trusted Firmware running in EL3) and also return back to the
non-secure caller via EL3. Some Arm CPUs speculatively executes the
instructions after the SVC instruction without crossing the privilege
level (S-EL0). Although the results of this execution are
architecturally discarded, adversary running on the non-secure side can
manipulate the contents of the general purpose registers to leak the
secure work memory through spectre like micro-architectural side channel
attacks. This behavior is demonstrated by the SafeSide project [1] and
[2]. Add barrier instructions after SVC to prevent speculative execution
to mitigate such attacks.

This patch adds a library that enables invocation of SVCs from Exception
Level EL0. It will be used by the Standalone MM environment to request
services from a software running in a privileged EL e.g. ARM Trusted
Firmware. The library is derived directly from Arm SMC Library.
