Re: [04/32] [x86] Robustify vzeroupper handling across calls
The following patch uses correct SSE register class; vzeroupper
operates only on lower 16 (8 on 32bit target) SSE registers.

PR target/91994
* config/i386/i386.c (x86_avx_u128_mode_needed): Use SSE_REG
instead of ALL_SSE_REG to check if function call preserves some
256-bit SSE registers.
Bootstrapped and regression tested on x86_64-linux-gnu {,-m32}.
Committed to mainline SVN.
Uros.
