UEFI specifies the calling convention used in Microsoft compilers;
first arguments of a function are passed in (%rcx, %rdx, %r8, %r9).
All other compilers use System V ABI by default, passing first integer
arguments of a function in (%rdi, %rsi, %rdx, %rcx, %r8, %r9).
These ABI also specify different sets of registers that must be preserved
across function calls (callee-saved).
GCC allows using the Microsoft calling convention by adding the ms_abi
attribute to a function declaration.
Current EFI implementation in U-Boot specifies EFIAPI for efi_main()
in the test apps but uses default calling convention in lib/efi.
Save efi_main() arguments in the startup code on x86_64;
use EFI calling convention for _relocate() on x86_64;
consistently use EFI calling convention for efi_main() everywhere.
v5:
Keeping unused _relocate() arguments, to be submitted as another patch.
v4:
Keeping .exit label in x86_64 startup code;
Also removed the unused _relocate() arguments for arm, x86, riscv.
v3:
Updated patch description.
v2:
Added EFIABI to _relocate() declaration.
