This patch fixes the issue for x86, but the file is also used by IA64. I
would have used asmlinkage to force arguments on the stack, but it has a
special meaning on IA64, thus I used a raw regparm(0) GCC attribute.
This attribute is documented only for x86, I hope it has no side effect
on other archs.
It seems wrong to put this sort of architecture-dependent stuff in
an architecture-independent file.  If EFI needs a specific calling
convention on x86, x86 should provide wrappers that guarantee that
convention.  ia64 already provides such wrappers (phys_get_time(),
virt_get_time(), etc).

[ Disclaimer: I don't know much about EFI. I wanted to download the
spec, but it required me to sign some sort of agreement about needing a
license to write an implementation... I ran away. ]

You're totally right, I first thought it wasn't possible, but the
functions in the 'struct efi' can be set to whatever is wanted. Bellow's
a patch which won't have any impact on ia64 and fixes the issue on my
Mac Mini. I don't think x86_64 can be configured to boot from EFI, so
this shouldn't cause any regression on that front. How does that look?
currently x86_64 kernel does not support efi, efi convention comply to
MS convention. On ia32 parameter is passed on stack, on x86_64 parameter
is passed by registers but that is different from x86_64 linux convention.

How about adding EFIAPI prefix before efi runtime service function, this
prefix has different definition in different architecture.

When calling into the EFI firmware, the parameters need to be passed on
the stack. The recent change to use -mregparm=3 breaks x86 EFI support.
This patch is needed to allow the new Intel-based Macs to suspend to ram
(efi.get_time is called during the suspend phase).
