[PATCH] x86: add -freg-struct-return to CFLAGS
Jeremy Fitzhardinge suggested the use of -freg-struct-return, which does
structure-returns (such as when using pte_t) in registers instead of on
the stack.
that is indeed so, and this option reduced the kernel size a bit:
text data bss dec hex filename
4799506 543456 3760128 9103090 8ae6f2 vmlinux.before
4798117 543456 3760128 9101701 8ae185 vmlinux.after
the resulting kernel booted fine on my testbox. Lets go for it.
