This happens because LLVM currently does not support calling vmsave
without the fixed register operand (%rax for 64-bit and %eax for
32-bit). This will be fixed in LLVM 12 but the kernel currently supports
LLVM 10.0.1 and newer so this needs to be handled.

Add the proper register using the _ASM_AX macro, which matches the
vmsave call in vmenter.S.

Queued, thanks.
