In rs6000.md, it is

; This is to explain that changes to the stack pointer should
; not be moved over loads from or stores to stack memory.
(define_insn "stack_tie"
  [(match_parallel 0 "tie_operand"
                   [(set (mem:BLK (reg 1)) (const_int 0))])]
  ""
  ""
  [(set_attr "length" "0")])

This would be just an placeholder insn, and acts as the comments.
UNSPEC_ would works like other targets.  While, I'm wondering
the concerns on "set (mem:BLK (reg 1)) (const_int 0)".
MODEs between SET_DEST and SET_SRC?

Thanks for comments!
