Hmm I am not sure we can do this change anymore given that we have two
call sites using 'flags'

arch/arm64/kvm/psci.c:184
arch/riscv/kvm/vcpu_sbi.c:97

I am not at all familiar with ARM and RISC-V but some quick reading
tells me these archs also require 64-bit alignment on their 64-bit
accesses. If thats correct, should I fix this call sites up by
proceeding with this ndata + data[] change and move whatever they are
assigning to flags into data[0] like I am doing here? It looks like
both of these changes are not in a kernel release so IIUC we can still
fix the ABI here?

Ah I'll fix that up.
