Subject: x86: don't clobber r8 nor use rcx.
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=edf10162b2c5ad78ada8e63e960f9d0949c6c219;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

x86: don't clobber r8 nor use rcx.

There's really no reason to clobber r8 or pass the address in rcx.
We can safely use only two registers (which we already have to touch anyway)
to do the job.
