In AArch32 state, the ARMv8-A architecture permits, but does not require,
this trap to apply to conditional SMC instructions that fail their condition
code check, in the same way as with traps on other conditional instructions.

Please add a quote to the spec.

This function is checking the EC, it considers that EC > 0x10 will be 
unconditional. However, the SMC exception class is 0x13 when taken from 
AArch32 and 0x17 when taken from AArch64.

Furthermore, for ARMv7, the register is Reserved UNK/SBZP (see B3-1431 
in ARM DDI 0406C.c). I.e the software should not rely on the field 
reading as all 0s (see Glossary-2736).

For ARMv8, when the SMC is taken from AArch64 (see D7-1942 in ARM DDI 
0487A.j), the register is RES0 which means the software should not rely 
on the value to always be 0 (see Glossary-5734). When the SMC is taken 
from AArch32, the field CV is only valid if CCKNOWNPASS is 1 (this field 
does not exist for the other exception class).

So this code need more extra care. It would also be nice to have a 
description in the code explaining what's going on.

Ack, there seems to be enough corner-cases here that I'm unfamiliar
with that I would rather not attempt implementing this as I likely
would miss something. I'll wait for your patch with the rest of my
series as that route will likely have less overhead anyway.

Thanks,
Tamas
