New Revision: 146361

URL: http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?rev=146361&view=rev
Log:
Update the LangRef documentation for llvm.ctlz and llvm.cttz to specify
the behavior with the newly added flag for undefined results on a zero
input.

I'm terrible at documentation, so comments and suggestions welcome here.
