x86/head_64: Store boot_params pointer in callee save register
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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 actually needed.
