256-bit is friendly on bdver4.
But, 256 bit unaligned stores are micro-coded which we would like to avoid. So
we require 128-bit MOVUPS.

Looking at http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-11/msg01235.html
we are going to have some AMD CPU with AVX2 support soon, the question is
if it will prefer 256-bit vmovups/vmovupd/vmovdqu or split, but even
if it will prefer split, the question is if like bdver{1,2,3} it will
be X86_TUNE_AVX128_OPTIMAL, because if yes, then how 256-bit unaligned
loads/stores are handled is much less important there. Ganesh?

You mean LRA issues here, right? If you are starting to use
no-accumulate-outgoing-args much more often than in the past, I think
the problem that LRA forces a frame pointer in that case is much more
important now (or has that been fixed in the mean time?). Vlad?
