[PATCH 2/2] Eliminate incorrect check for grub_I386_CHECK_REGPARM_BUG

[Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>]

NESTED_FUNC_ATTR is defined to "__attribute__ ((__regparm__ (1))" for
i386 targets regardless of the outcome of the test.  Since
NESTED_FUNC_ATTR is on the way out, a better test won't be written.

To be safe, define NESTED_FUNC_ATTR whenever we are compiling the
specific file for i386 architecture, even the target platform is not
i386 (i.e. compiling utilities when the host is i386 and the target is
not).

ChangeLog:

	* aclocal.m4 (grub_I386_CHECK_REGPARM_BUG): Remove.
	* configure.ac: Don't call grub_I386_CHECK_REGPARM_BUG.  Define
	NESTED_FUNC_ATTR by AH_BOTTOM.  Base NESTED_FUNC_ATTR value
	solely on the compile time architecture.
