Hi,

this is the newest version of the patch. 
major changes:
	1. format fixes raised by Martin;
	2. output error when disabled IPA optimizations are turned on explicitly by the user 
	with -flive-patching at the same time. based on Honza’s suggestions. 

the new changes have been bootstrapped and tested on both aarch64 and x86, no regressions.

Okay for commit?

thanks.

Qing.
