Below, there are a bunch of references to r3 and r4 left

        rldicl  r3, r3, 0, 63           /* r3 &= 1 */
        stb     r3, HSTATE_RESTORE_HID5(r13)

        /* Load up guest SPRG3 value, since it's user readable */
        lwz     r3, VCPU_SHAREDBE(r4)				  <<<
        cmpwi   r3, 0
        ld      r5, VCPU_SHARED(r4)				  <<<

where r3 is also destroyed.  So I'd rather have three patches:

- one that is as small as possible, changing the prototypes and adding

	mr r4, r3

- one that entirely swaps out r3 and r4.  This would be the hard one to
review!

- one that cleans up the prologue and epilogue

But overall I think it's simplest to just leave out this patch.
