32-bit ABI uses RAX/RCX/RDX as its argument registers, so they are in
the way of instructions that hardcode their operands such as RDMSR/WRMSR
or VMLOAD/VMRUN/VMSAVE.
In preparation for moving vmload/vmsave to __svm_vcpu_run(), keep
the pointer to the struct vcpu_svm in %rdi. In particular, it is now
possible to load svm->vmcb01.pa in %rax without clobbering the struct
vcpu_svm pointer.
No functional change intended.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
