Subject[PATCH 14/55] KVM: SVM: Let gcc to choose which registers to save (i386)
Date
From: Laurent Vivier <Laurent.Vivier@bull.net>

This patch lets GCC to determine which registers to save when we
switch to/from a VCPU in the case of AMD i386

* Original code saves following registers:

ebx, ecx, edx, esi, edi, ebp

* Patched code:

- informs GCC that we modify following registers
using the clobber description:

ebx, ecx, edx, esi, edi

- rbp is saved (pop/push) because GCC seems to ignore its use in the clobber
description.
