Sure I can do that. Maybe I'll add another patch at the end of my series to replace xen_hvc with __HVC(0xEA1), so that it remains independent from your series.

I would bother to change it unless you > have other changes to make too. Wouldn't this needlessly save and restore one more register (lr) to the stack? I would try to keep the hypercall wrappers as small as possible...

Argh, ignore me -- I was hallucinating for some reason that we actually needed to save lr, but we don't. Using the stmfd/ldmfd mnemonics might still be nicer than stmdb/ldm, since the fd suffix makes the stack semantics more obvious, and the code looks more symmetrical. This was the conventional way to write these mnemonics before the "push" and "pop" mnemonics existed. That's purely cosmetic, though. Cheers ---Dave

Use r12 to pass the hypercall number to the hypervisor. We need a register to pass the hypercall number because we might not know it at compile time and HVC only takes an immediate argument. Among the available registers r12 seems to be the best choice because it is defined as "intra-procedure call scratch register". Use the ISS to pass an hypervisor specific tag. Changes in v2: - define an HYPERCALL macro for 5 arguments hypercall wrappers, even if at the moment is unused; - use ldm instead of pop; - fix up comments.
