After a lot of thinking and some experiments, I did not find a better solution to considerably (like on 0.2% - 0.3% on ARM SPEC2000) improve code size than use of non-regional RA for -Os. So the patch makes one region allocation is default for -Os. I don't use function optimize_function_for_size_p because I'd like to keep possibility still set up regions independedly of used -O option. This final patch removes ARM code size regression reported on http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48455. The patch was successfully bootstrapped on x86-64 and ppc64 (actually the generated code is not changed for -O2).
