yeah, should add reference docs of "SMC CALLING CONVENTION" here.

yeah, vendor-specific service is more suitable for ptp_kvm.

ok, I will add a new "ARM_SMCCC_OWNER_VENDOR_HYP" whose IIUC is 6
and create "ARM_SMCCC_HYP_KVM_PTP_ID" base on it.

er, do you mean that "ARM_SMCCC_HV_PV_TIME_XXX" as "opt-in"? if so, I
think this
kvm_ptp doesn't need a buddy. the driver in guest will call this service
in a definite way.

oh, sorry, I should have added more background knowledge here.
just give some hints here:
the kvm_ptp targets to sync guest time with host. some services in user
space
like chrony can do time sync by inputing time(in kvm_ptp also clock
counter sometimes) from
remote clocksource(often network clocksource). This kvm_ptp driver can
offer a interface for
those user space service in guest to get the host time to do time sync
in guest.

it's better to use a meaningful variant name. I will fix it.
