Why do you need this and (you do the masking on the restore path)?

Please use the long form syntax for these instructions (and r2, r2, #3) as
toolchains have historically been picky about accepting these when not
targetting Thumb and it also makes it consistent with the rest of arch/arm/.

It's pretty horrible to take a macro argument (vcpup) and then open-code all
the other register numbers without moving the argument somewhere nice. Are
callers just expected to understand that you clobber {r2,r3,r4} and avoid
them? If so, why not just use the PCS so that people don't have to learn a
new convention?
