Please align code with the rest which is tab between asm instruction and
arguments.

This is the biggest problem I have with this series. This function is
called from early code which is just the code below with return here
where certain registers are used and I expect this is working well.
But when this function is called from relocate code function these
registers can be used already and this function is not saving them.

I would rather see that regs saved to stack just for sure.

Thanks,
Michal
