We should allow M-mode to M-mode ECALLs because:
1. No other mode can handle M-mode ECALLs
2. In future, we can allow M-mode baremetal application (not
   linked to OpenSBI) running independently and cooperatively
   without corrupting OpenSBI M-mode state (CSRs and memory).

Nice! I was wondering why this wasn't there and I thought maybe it's not allowed.
Good to see that there's nothing special about M-Mode making ecalls.

Since we now switch to S-Mode very early in EDK2, it doesn't make a difference for us.
