ISA Parser: Allow predication of source and destination registers
This patch is meant for allowing predicated reads and writes. Note that this predication is different from the ISA provided predication. They way we currently provide the ISA description for X86, we read/write registers that do not need to be actually read/written. This is likely to be true for other ISAs as well. This patch allows for read and write predicates to be associated with operands. It allows for the register indices for source and destination registers to be decided at the time when the microop is constructed. The run time indicies come in to play only when the at least one of the predicates has been provided. This patch will not affect any of the ISAs that do not provide these predicates. Also the patch assumes that the order in which operands appear in any function of the microop is same across all the functions of the microops. A subsequent patch will enable predication for the x86 ISA.
