The comment says this:
```
  // The MRS is set as a NZCV setting instruction. Not all MRS instructions
  // require doing this. The alternative was to explicitly model each one, but
  // it feels like it is unnecessary because it seems there are no negative
  // consequences setting these flags for all.
