Hi,
with -fprofile-use the prefetching should not be risky since we have idea about
what loops are hot and what are their average number of iterations.  So I think
we ought to enable the pass as we do with -O3.

If there will not be complains, I will commit the following tonight.

	* config/i386/i386.c (override_options): Enable prefetching also with
	-fprofile-use.

Well.  We know that prefetching causes a lot of compile-time and
code-size issues which are not really acceptable with -O1 or -O2
(nor -Os - with -Os you even get funny diagnostics).

So, please restrict this to !optimize_size at least and make sure
that we do not suffer from code-size or compile-time explosion
(for example by checking 465.tonto).

Richard.
