We use 40 bytes in stack for storing the output register values. It is in
function tdg_inl().

subq $TDVMCALL_OUTPUT_SIZE, %rsp

+SYM_FUNC_START(tdg_inl)
+	io_save_registers
+	/* Set data width to 4 bytes */
+	mov $4, %rsi
+1:
+	mov %rdx, %rcx
+	/* Set 0 in RDX to select in operation */
+	mov $0, %rdx
+	/* Set TDVMCALL function id in RDI */
+	mov $EXIT_REASON_IO_INSTRUCTION, %rdi
+	/* Set TDVMCALL type info (0 - Standard, > 0 - vendor) in R10 */
+	xor %r10, %r10
+	/* Allocate memory in stack for Output */
+	subq $TDVMCALL_OUTPUT_SIZE, %rsp
+	/* Move tdvmcall_output pointer to R9 */
+	movq %rsp, %r9
+
+	call do_tdvmcall
