Here is the comment from gensupport.c which explains it.
/* Discard insn patterns which we know can never match (because
their C test is provably always false). If insn_elision is
false, our caller needs to see all the patterns. Note that the
elided patterns are never counted by the sequence numbering; it
it is the caller's responsibility, when insn_elision is false, not
to use elided pattern numbers for anything. */
It may help to know that "elision" is an English word. It means,
approximately, "omission," which means the act of removing something.
The related word is "elide," which is approximately the same as
"omit."
