@@ -390,6 +390,11 @@ GCC like constraints are used to define the constraints of every
 instruction. Memory constraints are not supported in this
 version. Aliases are specified in the input operands as for GCC.
  
+The same register may be used for both an input and an output, even when
+they are not explicitly aliased.  If an op expands to multiple target
+instructions then care must be taken to avoid clobbering input values.
+GCC style "early clobber" outputs are not currently supported.

 A target can define specific register or constant constraints. If an
 operation uses a constant input constraint which does not allow all
 constants, it must also accept registers in order to have a fallback.
