Hmm, but this is a bug in clang in that case.
From an ABI perspective, grub_uboot_syscall is a veneer:
the only visible side effect it is permitted to have is to corrupt r12.
We need to additionally switch r8 between grub and u-boot copy because
u-boot uses it for its global data pointer, and lr because we need to
corrupt it to make u-boot return to this veneer to switch the r8 back
again.
This veneer should not touch anything else - so if we need to
temporarily work around a toolchain ABI bug, can we do this via an
ifdef and a config option?
