Subject: x86/entry/64: Push extra regs right away
From: Andy Lutomirski <[email protected]>
(cherry picked from commit d1f7732009e0549eedf8ea1db948dc37be77fd46)
With the fast path removed there is no point in splitting the push of the normal and the extra register set. Just push the extra regs right away.
