Subject: [PATCH] x86-64: relax pvops stub clobber specifications

Except for the error_exit case, none of the code paths following the
{DIS,EN}ABLE_INTERRUPTS() invocations being modified here make any
assumptions on register values, so all registers can be clobbered
there. In the error_exit case a minor adjustment to register usage
(at once eliminating an instruction) also allows for this to be true.
