xen64: save lots of registers
The Xen hypercall interface is allowed to trash any or all of the argument registers, so we need to be careful that the kernel state isn't damaged. On 32-bit kernels, the hypercall parameter registers same as a regparm function call, so we've got away without explicit clobbering so far. The 64-bit ABI defines lots of caller-save registers, so save them all for safety. We can trim this set later by re-distributing the responsibility for saving all these registers.
