Add a comment mentioning that InstructionSimplify routines do,
in fact, resolve undef uses. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@173721 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

// ("and i32 %x, %x" -> "%x"). If the simplification is also an instruction
// then it dominates the original instruction.
//
+// These routines implicitly resolve undef uses. The easiest way to be safe when
+// using these routines to obtain simplified values for existing instructions is
+// to always replace all uses of the instructions with the resulting simplified
+// values. This will prevent other code from seeing the same undef uses and
+// resolving them to different values.
