Having an InstAlias to DSB instead of a new instruction allows you to reuse the original instruction definition (and not have to worry about scheduling models).
TableGen usually errors when it finds a collision in instruction encodings, so I'm surprised it doesn't for this case (i.e. this instruction would collide with DSB instruction with immediate #0xc).
