It's a remnant of some old NV extension. Unused.
I also have a patch that removes predicates if anyone is interested.

This patch adds liveness analysis to i915g and a couple
optimizations which benefit from it. One interesting
optimization turns (fake) indirect texture accesses into direct
texture accesses (the i915 supports a maximum of 4 indirect
texture accesses). Among other things this fixes a bunch of
piglit tests.
TGSI_OPCODE_KIL and KILP had confusing names. The former was conditional
kill (if any src component < 0). The later was unconditional kill.
At one time KILP was supposed to work with NV-style condition
codes/predicates but we never had that in TGSI.
This patch renames both opcodes:
TGSI_OPCODE_KIL -> KILL_IF (kill if src.xyzw < 0)
TGSI_OPCODE_KILP -> KILL (unconditional kill)
Note: I didn't just transpose the opcode names to help ensure that I
didn't miss updating any code anywhere.
I believe I've updated all the relevant code and comments but I'm
not 100% sure that some drivers had this right in the first place.
For example, the radeon driver might have llvm.AMDGPU.kill and
llvm.AMDGPU.kilp mixed up. Driver authors should review their code.
