Hello!

As argued in the PR [1], limiting -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 only
for non-SSE 64bit targets represent artificial limitation, restricting
compiler functionality and user freedom.

Attached patch allows -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 in all cases. The
compiler will align stack when needed, imposing a small runtime
penalty for functions that require 16-byte alignment.

    * config/i386/i386.c (ix86_option_override_internal): Always
    allow -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 for 64-bit targets.
