KVM: SVM: Let gcc to choose which registers to save (x86_64)
This patch lets GCC to determine which registers to save when we
switch to/from a VCPU in the case of AMD x86_64.
* Original code saves following registers:
rbx, rcx, rdx, rsi, rdi, rbp,
r8, r9, r10, r11, r12, r13, r14, r15
* Patched code:
- informs GCC that we modify following registers
using the clobber description:
rbx, rcx, rdx, rsi, rdi
r8, r9, r10, r11, r12, r13, r14, r15
- rbp is saved (pop/push) because GCC seems to ignore its use in the clobber
description.
