One thing that is not clear to me is where things like $src1 (as in GR32:$src1) are defined, and what they mean. The TableGen Fundamentals page seems silent on this, and I have not found other documentation that explains it. Browsing through the .td files has not helped, either (although that has been quite useful to clarify things that are not spelled out in detail on the TableGen Fundamentals page).

It's not entirely clear what you're referring to, but in general, those are just arbitrary operand names.  They are defined and used within the instruction patterns.  If that doesn't help, perhaps you could post a specific example that you're having trouble with.
