I'm not sure why add that clobbers CC requires anything special (other than of
course showing the CC register as clobbered in the definition). pdp11 is
another target that only has a CC-clobbering add. Admittedly, it does have
register+offset addressing modes, but still the reload machinery deals just
fine with add operations like that.
