Thomas Symalla 76cbe62262 [AMDGPU] Changes the AMDGPU_Gfx calling convention by making the SGPRs 4..29 callee-save. This is to avoid superfluous s_movs when executing amdgpu_gfx function calls as the callee is likely not going to change the argument values. ...

This patch changes the AMDGPU_Gfx calling convention. It defines the SGPR registers s[4:29] as callee-save and leaves some SGPRs usable for callers. The intention is to avoid unneccessary s_mov instructions for arguments the caller would otherwise save and restore in these registers.
