Setting HONOR_REG_ALLOC_ORDER improves codesize with -Os, however it generates
slower and larger code with -O2 and higher.  So only set it when optimizing for
size.  On Cortex-A57 this improves SPECINT2006 by 0.15% and SPECFP2006 by 0.25%
while reducing codesize.

Bootstrap OK, OK for commit?

ChangeLog:

	* config/arm/arm.h (HONOR_REG_ALLOC_ORDER): Set when optimizing for size.

My only question would be whether it's more suitable to use
optimize_function_for_size_p(cfun) instead as IIRC that gives us a
chance with lto rather than the global optimize_size.

Otherwise ok .

Yes that is even better and that defaults to optimize_size if cfun isn't
set. I've committed this:

I'd be happy with a patch that goes and looks at more such uses in the
backend in your copious free time. hint hint.
