Ard Biesheuvel 7e611e7dbb efi/arm64: Check whether x18 is preserved by runtime services calls
Whether or not we will ever decide to start using x18 as a platform
register in Linux is uncertain, but by that time, we will need to
ensure that UEFI runtime services calls don't corrupt it.

So let's start issuing warnings now for this, and increase the
likelihood that these firmware images have all been replaced by that time.

This has been fixed on the EDK2 side in commit:

  6d73863b5464 ("BaseTools/tools_def AARCH64: mark register x18 as reserved")

dated July 13, 2017.
