Use the host save area to save/restore non-volatile (callee-saved) registers in __svm_sev_es_vcpu_run() to take advantage of hardware loading all registers from the save area on #VMEXIT. KVM still needs to save the registers it wants restored, but the loads are handled automatically by hardware. Aside from less assembly code, letting hardware do the restoration means stack frames are preserved for the entirety of __svm_sev_es_vcpu_run(). Opportunistically add a comment to call out why @svm needs to be saved across VMRUN->#VMEXIT, as it's not easy to decipher that from the macro hell.

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 reStructuredText 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.
