Use r12 to pass the hypercall number to the hypervisor.
We need a register to pass the hypercall number because we might not know it at compile time and HVC only takes an immediate argument.
Among the available registers r12 seems to be the best choice because it is defined as "intra-procedure call scratch register".
Use the ISS to pass an hypervisor specific tag.

- The Xen hypercall calling convention is very similar to the ARM
- procedure calling convention: the first paramter is passed in r0, the
- second in r1, the third in r2 and the third in r3. Considering that
I think you meant 'and the fourth in r3'.
So where does the similarity end? Just in that we use r12?
- Xen hypercalls have 5 arguments at most, the fifth paramter is passed
- in r4, differently from the procedure calling convention of using the
- stack for that case.
- The hypercall number is passed in r12.
- The return value is in r0.
- The hvc ISS is required to be 0xEA1, that is the Xen specific ARM
- hypercall tag.

Hmm, the comment says r4, but right below I see r12? Should this comment be by 'privcmd_call'?
