The base TargetFrameLowering implementation can delegate directly to getFrameIndexReference, and targets like X86 can implement the preference for SP-relative offsets.


We do want to prefer SP relative offsets, even when we're preserving frame pointers.  But I like your second idea, I'll put up a patch for review soon.
