These are target-specific flags that are then stored in the instruction 
descriptor.  You can use them to encode various properties of the 
instruction that are of interest to your target.

I'm not sure what you mean about condition handling, but TSFlags are 
"static" in the sense that for a given opcode they remain fixed 
throughout compilation.  For conditional instructions you can have a 
flag there that says that the instruction is conditional, but any 
variable characteristics must be encoded in other ways.
