[llvm-dev] x86 instructions EFLAGS in TableGen

[Craig Topper via llvm-dev]

We don’t model the eflags at that level. With maybe the exception of the
direction flag. It’s just not that useful to the compiler to have the exact
bits that are changed. And I’m not even sure we would ever emit CLC on our
own.
