[romprefix] Do not preserve unused register %di

Browse Source 
Since some PnP BIOSes fail to set %es:di to point to the PnP signature
on entry, we identify a PnP BIOS by scanning through the top 64kB of
base memory looking for the PnP structure.  We therefore don't
actually use the values of %es:di provided to the initialisation entry
point, and so there is no need to preserve them.
