[-mm patch] i386: enable REGPARM by default

From: Adrian Bunk

This patch should _not_ go into Linus' tree.

At some time in the future, we want to unconditionally enable REGPARM on
i386.

Let's give it a bit broader testing coverage among -mm users.

This patch:
- removes the dependency of REGPARM on EXPERIMENTAL
- let REGPARM default to y

This patch assumes that people who use -mm are willing to test some more
experimental features.

After this patch, REGPARM is still a config option users can disable.

Compile the kernel with -mregparm=3. This uses a different ABI
and passes the first three arguments of a function call in registers.
