The Linux Standard Base is a good source of info like this.  See
http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/refspecs/LSB_1.3.0/IA32/spec/rstandards.html#AEN34
Look at the one titled "System V Application Binary Interface - 
Intel386™ Architecture Processor Supplement, Fourth Edition".
http://www.caldera.com/developers/devspecs/abi386-4.pdf
Then search for EFLAGS in that document.
