I guess I can see why we wouldn't want to substitute into the operand
of a CLOBBER itself. But why prevent substitution of an expression
containing a register that will be clobbered? This second clause was
added under this ChangeLog entry:
I don't remember the second issue, but as to this one, I think the
point is that you can't selectively substitute into the insn, so you
would update the CLOBBER. But I'm not sure.
