[PATCH 03/18] x86/boot: use %ecx instead of %eax

Use %ecx instead of %eax to store low memory upper limit from EBDA. This way we do not wipe multiboot protocol identifier. It is needed in reloc() to differentiate between multiboot (v1) and multiboot2 protocol. Signed-off-by: Daniel Kiper Reviewed-by: Andrew Cooper --- xen/arch/x86/boot/head.S
