[llvm-dev] Selection DAG chain question

This would be a sequential chain...

I think their originating node already has a chain (i.e. mem operand or
side effect in llvm-ir). My case is a arithmetic node without ordering
constraints (divrem) getting lowered into sth that _does_ have ordering
constraints. I first thought it is very straight forward, turns out it is
not a common case. My current WA will be to code prepare into intrinsics
with side-effects. I was wondering if that's really necessary..

Thanks for the input
