arch: cpu: Stop passing around misc registers by reference.

These values are all basic integers (specifically uint64_t now), and
so passing them by const & is actually less efficient since there's a
extra level of indirection and an extra value, and the same sized value
(a 64 bit pointer vs. a 64 bit int) is being passed around.
