Tian Kevin c8cbee61c9 ACPI: preserve the ebx value in acpi_copy_wakeup_routine
Register %ebx serves as the "global offset table base register" for
position-independent code.  For absolute code, %ebx serves as a local
register and has no specified role in the function calling sequence.  In
either case, a function must preserve the register value for the caller.

acpi_copy_wakeup_routine overrides %ebx without saving it, this may corrupt
the called data.

Kevin found that most time the value of Sx is saved in %esi, however
sometimes compiler also uses %ebx.  When this happens, suspends fails since
sleep value in ebx is changed by acpi_copy_wakeup_routine.

The same funtion in X86_64 doesn't have this problem.
