For reducing compile time (but not size/generation), we could just use the cache vars with some magic unset value (probably the cache vars would need to be int instead of enum for that). Then if genattrtab finds out that there is no dominating call to the get_attr_* function, but still potentially for one insn the same get_attr_* might be called more than once in certain code path, then for that code path it could just use (cache_FOO != -1 ? (enum ...) cache_FOO : (cache_FOO = get_attr_FOO (...))).
