This patch lets GCC to determine which registers to save when we
switch to/from a VCPU in the case of AMD x86_64.

* Original code saves following registers:

    rbx, rcx, rdx, rsi, rdi, rbp,
    r8, r9, r10, r11, r12, r13, r14, r15

* Patched code:

  - informs GCC that we modify following registers
    using the clobber description:

    rbx, rcx, rdx, rsi, rdi
    r8, r9, r10, r11, r12, r13, r14, r15

  - rbp is saved (pop/push) because GCC seems to ignore its use in the clobber
    description.
