In preparation for porting syscall entry/exit to C, inconditionally
save non volatile general purpose registers.
Commit 965dd3ad3076 ("powerpc/64/syscall: Remove non-volatile GPR save
optimisation") provides detailed explanation.
This increases the number of cycles by 24 cycles on 8xx with
null_syscall benchmark (280 => 304 cycles)

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 Restructured Text 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.
