It's actually the linux convention. If the event handler, which was
specified in previous hypercall to EVENT_REGISTER, returns success,
the (linux) client calls into COMPLETE_AND_RESUME and the resume
address is specified with FIQ vector offset. More details can be
found from arch/arm64/kernel::sdei.c::do_sdei_event().
