The RSI SMCCC function IDs describe a firmware ABI and are not arm64

non-arch code, including drivers/firmware/smccc and the Arm CCA guest
driver.

Move the complete Realm Service Interface (RSI) implementation from
arch/arm64 to drivers/firmware/arm_rmm. The RSI SMCCC definitions and
command helpers are also moved to include/linux so they can be shared by
architecture code and firmware or driver code. This also keeps the
firmware interface outside architecture code, as requested [1].
