Is it OK to commit to trunk?

Thanks,

You've not actually disabled 256-bit avx insns.  The documentation for
that switch suggests that you should.  Perhaps you want to expand the
documentation to say use only 128-bit insns for auto-vectorization?

Subject: [PATCH] Introduce flag -mavx-m128-only to generate only 128-bit avx instructions.

	* config/i386/i386.opt (mavx-m128-only): New flag.
	* config/i386/i386.c (ix86_preferred_simd_mode): Prefer 128-bit mode
	if the flag -mavx-m128-only is turned on.
