It clears R0 and R1.  On VAX-32, that is.  It remains to be determined
what it would do on VAX-64 (in 64-bit mode, if the hardware is to be
dual-mode).  Personally, I would say it should clear just R0 (but all
64 bits of it).
IMO, CLRQ should be disallowed in 32-bit mode.
Well, CLRQ is actually the same as CLRD/CLRG, so it can't be disallowed :-)
Remember that floating point spans multiple registers as well.
