This isn't indentation.  This is a patch to line up operands, like this:

opcode		op1,       op2,       [op3+op4]
opcode		[op1+op2], op3,       op4

Some people like the way things are now:

opcode		op1, op2, [op3+op4]
opcode		[op1+op2], op3, op4

and won't like (with tabs):

opcode		op1,	op2,	[op3+op4]
opcode		[op1+op2],	op3,	op4

So once we start putting tabs in .td files everyone is stuck with them.
