[PATCH] x86: add -freg-struct-return to CFLAGS

Browse Source 
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.
