Hi,

We added ix86_lea_for_add_ok and modified *add<mode>_1 to make sure
that we use LEA on address and ADD on non-address for TARGET_OPT_AGU.
It turned out ADD is always faster than LEA on all processors, except for
TARGET_OPT_AGU.  This patch changes *add<mode>_1 and ix86_lea_for_add_ok
to avoid lea for !TARGET_OPT_AGU processors.  OK for trunk?

Thanks.

	* config/i386/i386.c (ix86_lea_for_add_ok): For !TARGET_OPT_AGU
	or optimizing for size, always avoid lea if possible.

	* config/i386/i386.md (*add<mode>_1): Always avoid lea if
	possible.

Yes, looks better.  Thanks.

Is there any reason not to remove alternative 2 now that
you're not doing anything special with it?

If I understood things correctly, the problem was that in this case we'd
match what is now alternative 3, and generate lea.

Ah, right, I see.  The patch is ok.
