[PATCH 3/9] x86/kexec: Use correct swap page in swap_pages function

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw at amazon.co.uk>
The swap_pages function expects the swap page to be in %r10, but there
was no documentation to that effect. Once upon a time the setup code
used to load its value from a kernel virtual address and save it to an
address which is accessible in the identity-mapped page tables, and
*happened* to use %r10 to do so, with no comment that it was left there
on *purpose* instead of just being a scratch register. Once that was no
longer necessary, %r10 just holds whatever the kernel happened to leave
in it.
Now that the original value passed by the kernel is accessible via
%rip-relative addressing, load directly from there instead of using %r10
for it. But document the other parameters that the swap_pages function
*does* expect in registers.
