I can't remember if we've had this discussion before. Anyway,
I think that making SMC NOP is too much of a platform-specific
hack. If we want to support these platforms we need to either
(a) implement TrustZone properly (b) implement some coherent
mechanism for handing off SMCs to a bit of board specific firmware.
(We might want the latter anyway for running these guests under
KVM.)
