push/pop tweeks


Hi
Pentium4 seems to be first architecture cleanly winning by not using push/pop instructions.
Moves+arithmetics results in fewer uops and thus consume less resources of trace cache.
When I was experimenting with this I found the code to bring benefits on Athlons and Celeron
as well, even when I am not sure if the code size bloat will not outweight it in larger
benchmarks.

This patch adds neccesary switches to enable it and I will do more tunning later once I
merge in the preferred-stack-alignment propagating patches that are going to change
the costs noticeably.

	(ix86_emit_save_regs_using_mov): New static function.
	(ix86_expand_prologue, ix86_expand_epilogue): Use moves if preferred.
	* i386.h (MASK_MMX, MASK_SSE, MASK_SSE2, MASK_128BIT_LONG_DOUBLE,
	MASK_MIX_SSE_I387): Renumber.
	(MASK_NO_ACCUMULATE_OUTGOING_ARGS): New.
	(x86_accumulate_outgoing_args, x86_prologue_using_move,
