Yes, this can be simplified further. I took another look at this morning. The issue that prevented me from doing it in the first place is that the arm backend handles the CPSR somewhat differently than ARM64. There are already somewhat analogous nodes (ARMISD::ADDC and ARMISD::SUBC), but they decide whether or not to set flags based on the liveness of the CPSR, so I need to figure out how to get that wired up. I don’t think adding explicit ADDS/SUBS nodes would make that any simpler because I suspect they would have to deal with equivalent CPSR issues in the tablegen files.
