- Add documentation for the capability, KVM_CAP_ARM_HVC_FW_REG_BMAP,
  in KVM's api.rst.

- Add the documentation for the bitmap firmware registers in
  psci.rst. This includes the details for KVM_REG_ARM_STD_BMAP,
  KVM_REG_ARM_STD_HYP_BMAP, and KVM_REG_ARM_VENDOR_HYP_BMAP
  registers.

+7.29 KVM_CAP_ARM_HVC_FW_REG_BMAP
+--------------------------------
+
+:Architecture: arm64
+:Parameters: none
+
+This capability indicates that KVM for arm64 supports the psuedo-firmware
+register bitmap extension. It must be explicitly enabled. Once enabled,
+KVM allows access to the firmware registers that hold the bitmap of the
+hypercall services that should be exposed to the guest.
+
+By default, the registers are set with the upper-limit of the features
+exposed to the guest. User-space can discover them via the GET_ONE_REG
+interface. If unsatisfied with the configuration, it can write-back the
+bitmap that it sees fit for the guest via SET_ONE_REG interface. The
+registers that are never accessed by the user-space (read/write) are
+by default cleared just before the vCPU runs. This is to make sure that
+the features are not accidentally exposed to the guest without the
+consent of user-space.
+
+Note that the capability has to be enabled before running any vCPU. Also,
+the capability cannot be disabled. The VM has to be restarted for that.

 In order to remedy this situation, KVM exposes a set of "firmware
 pseudo-registers" that can be manipulated using the GET/SET_ONE_REG
-interface. These registers can be saved/restored by userspace, and set

     KVM_REG_ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_2_NOT_REQUIRED:
       The workaround is always active on this vCPU or it is not needed.
 
+Contrary to the above registers, the following registers exposes the hypercall
+services in the form of a feature-bitmap. This bitmap is translated to the
+services that are exposed to the guest. There is a register defined per service
+call owner and can be accessed via GET/SET_ONE_REG interface.
+
+A new KVM capability, KVM_CAP_ARM_HVC_FW_REG_BMAP, is introduced to let
+user-space know of this extension. It has to explicitly enable the capability
+to get access to these registers. If the capability is enabled, a 'read' of
+these registers will simply expose the upper-limit of all features supported
+by the corresponding service call owner in the form of a bitmap. If the
+user-space is unhappy with the arrangement, it can 'write-back' the bitmap
+that it wishes to expose.
+
+If a register is not accessed (either read/write), KVM will assume that the
+user-space is unaware of its existence. In such a case, KVM would simply
+clear all the bits of that register just before starting the VM. This way
+no new features are accidentally exposed to the guest.
+
+The psuedo-firmware bitmap register are as follows:
+
+* KVM_REG_ARM_STD_BMAP:
+    Controls the bitmap of the ARM Standard Secure Service Calls.
+
+  The following bits are accepted:

+
+  The following bits are accepted:
