As I remember I tried to decrease number of macros used for LRA.

Just using mode of reg might not work for general case.

Reload (caller-saves.c) uses HARD_REGNO_CALLER_SAVE_MODE.   I guess we 
should use it.

I'll try to implement this and after some testing and checking on a few 
platform I'll commit it.

I guess we will have a solution at the end of this week.

Thanks for working on this, Richard.
