Changes to support updated register usage in SMCCC v1.2
From AArch64 state, arguments are passed in registers W0-W7(X0-X7)
and results are returned in W0-W7(X0-X7) for SMC32(SMC64) calls.
From AArch32 state, arguments are passed in registers R0-R7 and
results are returned in registers R0-R7 for SMC32 calls.
Most of the functions and macros already existed to support using
upto 8 registers for passing/returning parameters/results. Added
few helper macros for SMC calls from AArch32 state.
