Typo: distinguish.

It really would have been a lot clearer and made a whole lot more sense 
to encode a VM ID/channel number within some of the SMCCC parameters, 
possibly as part of the function ID itself.

Cannot you use the existing lower_32_bits and upper_32_bits macros from 
kernel.h here?

There is not even a check that this is going to be part of the kernel's 
view of memory, that seems a bit brittle and possibly a security hole, 
too. Your hypervisor presumably needs to have carved out some amount of 
memory in order for the messages to be written to/read from, and so 
would the VM kernel, so eventually we should have a 'reserved-memory' 
entry of some sort, no?

There is no need for scmi_info to store is_smc64, just check the func_id 
here and declare is_smc64 as a local variable to the function.

Also, another way to approach this would be to encode the parameters 
region in 4KB units such that event on a 32-bit system with LPAE you are 
guaranteed to fit the region into a 32-bit unsigned long. AFAIR 
virtualization and LPAE are indistinguishable on real CPUs?
