Hmm SAVEE_C_REGS below doesn't seem to save rbp like we did before.
Perhaps it's implicitely saved somewhere?

Also rsp isn't saved in %rsi like before. Maybe
that's because we already save it in rdi? Makes sense since
now arg1 == rsp. More on that later.

So you push rdi instead...

And then you pop to rsi. Ok that indeed works but perhaps we should keep it symetrical
just for clarity? Any reason why we can't reuse rdi here?

Thanks.
