At the moment, the user should save x30/lr if it cares about it.

Follow-up patches will introduce more use of putn in place where lr
should be preserved.

Furthermore, any user of putn should also move the value to register x0
if it was stored in a different register.

For convenience, a new macro is introduced to print a given register.
The macro will take care for us to move the value to x0 and also
preserve lr.

Lastly the new macro is used to replace all the callsite of putn. This
will simplify rework/review later on.

Note that CurrentEL is now stored in x5 instead of x4 because the latter
will be clobbered by the macro print_reg.

I have the same weird issues with my compiler as before, replacing 'lr'
with 'x30' solves the problem.

This patch looks OK though.

Can you have a try with the following line?

lr      .req    x30             // link register

Despite its name, this macro can't print x4. I would recommend adding at
least comment about this. Static assertion would be even better, but
looks like we don't have them for asm code.

I have a new version of the function allowing to print x4. It is 
basically just swapping "mov x4, lr" with "mov x0, \xb".
