Subject: [PATCH] extra optmization flags

Enable 2 extra optimimization flags:
  -fivopts
     Perform induction variable optimizations (strength reduction,
     induction variable merging and induction variable elimination)
     on trees.
  -fmodulo-sched
     Perform swing modulo scheduling immediately before the first
     scheduling pass. This pass looks at innermost loops and reorders
     their instructions by overlapping different iterations.

stress-ng microbenchmark improvements (average from 10 x 1min runs) on
Alderlake with gcc 13.2.0:
  af-alg:  1.0% (kernel AF_ALG crypto)
  pipe:    1.5% (pipe + context switch)
  fork:    4.4% (process fork/exit)
  mmap:    3.0% (memory mapping)
  switch:  4.9%	(context switching)

KVM QEMU bootspeed improvements (based on average of 100 boots): 0.5%
