[PATCH v3 18/21] x86/head_64: Store boot_params pointer in callee-preserved register

From: Ard Biesheuvel
Date: Mon May 22 2023 - 03:17:31 EST


Instead of pushing/popping %RSI to/from the stack every time a function
is called from startup_64(), store it in a callee preserved register
and grab it from there when its value is actualled needed.
