xen_hypercall_hvm(), which is used when running as a Xen PVH guest at
most only once during early boot, is clobbering %rbx. Depending on
whether the caller relies on %rbx to be preserved across the call or
not, this clobbering might result in an early crash of the system.
This can be avoided by not modifying %rbx in xen_hypercall_hvm().

There's no memory access here, but ...

... you now read from memory here. That can't be right. Afaict the original
use of LEA needs to stay, just with a different scratch register.
Oh, right. Thanks for noticing.
