The ABI.  r0-r3 are used to pass arguments, and _may_ be corrupted by
the called function.  r12 is a temporary register which called functions
may corrupt.  lr is not expected to be preserved.  Everything else must
be preserved.  Return values in r0 and maybe r1.

So.  The registers you must preserve across a function call are r4-r11,
and r13(sp).
