[PATCH 1/6] xen/arm: Fix evaluation of parameters for SMCCC calls

Message-ID <[email protected]>
Contrary to what was claimed in commit 67bcf5eae709 ("xen/arm: Simplify type
handling for SMCCC declarations"), there is an important reason to retain the
intermediate variable.  It is unsafe to have any logic between the assignment
of the register variabes and the asm() block they're used in.

This logically reverts commit 67bcf5eae709 ("xen/arm: Simplify type handling
for SMCCC declarations") while retaining the conversions from commit
7f15d5d13221 ("xen/treewide: More typeof() -> auto conversions").

Adjust __declare_arg_0() to match.  It happens to be safe because it's the
first register expression once all macros are expanded, but it really should
be consistent with the others.

Leave a comment explaining why they must be written like this.
