The %rsi register can be clobbered by the called function so I'm saving
it since it points to the real mode data. I might be able to look into
saving it earlier and restoring it before needed, but I though this
might be clearer.

Yup, I'll expand on the comment for this.

I can expand on the commit message about that. I was trying to keep the
early boot-related code separate from the main code in arch/x86/mm dir.
