Subject: [PATCH v7 08/22] x86/decompressor: Store boot_params pointer in callee save register

Instead of pushing and popping %RSI several times to preserve the struct
boot_params pointer across the execution of the startup code, move it
into a callee save register before the first call into C, and copy it
back when needed.
