[PATCH, ia64] Remove IA64 speculation tweaking flags


Hi,

This patch removes msched-prefer-non-data-spec-insns and msched-prefer-non-control-spec-insns IA64 options and handling thereof.  I have implemented these option during my youthful indiscrimination and, as far as I can tell, no one uses them.  Yet, handling of these options complicate logic of haifa-sched.c:choose_ready(), and other functions.

We have 3 choice for future of these options (of which I prefer the first one):

1. Remove options and their handling in haifa-sched and sel-sched.
2. Remove handling, but keep dummy options for the sake of ... someone ... I guess ?
3. Keep options, and reimplement their handling through targetm.sched.first_cycle_multipass_dfa_lookahead_guard hook -- requires some additional mental cycles on my part, therefore the least preferable option to me.

Can we go with option (1), please?

Tested on x86_64-linux-gnu and also build ia64-linux-gnu cc1.

OK to apply?

Thank you,
