[-mm patch] always enable regparm on i386

[Adrian Bunk]

The patch below always enables regparm on i386 (with gcc >= 3.0).

With this patch, it should get a better testing coverage in -mm.

This patch should help to find bugs that show up with regparm enabled.

I'd prefer to keep the config option so that people can diagnose compiler
and kernel bugs by disabling it. This has proved useful in the past.
