OK, I tried the following patch (simply adding asmlinkage to the
typedefs) with gcc 3.3, 3.4, 4.0 and 4.1. I couldn't easily try older
compilers.

New patch:

When calling into the EFI firmware, the parameters need to be passed on
the stack. The recent change to use -mregparm=3 breaks x86 EFI support.
This patch is needed to allow the new Intel-based Macs to suspend to ram
(efi.get_time is called during the suspend phase).
