SVP64 is designed so that when the prefix is all zeros, no effect or
influence occurs (no augmentation) such that all standard OpenPOWER
-v3.0/1B instructions are "unaltered". This is termed `scalar identity behaviour` (based on the mathematical definition for "identity", as in, "identity matrix" or better "identity transformation").
+v3.0/1B instructions covered by the prefix are "unaltered". This is termed `scalar identity behaviour` (based on the mathematical definition for "identity", as in, "identity matrix" or better "identity transformation").
Note that this is completely different from when VL=0. VL=0 turns all operations under its influence into `nops`, whereas when VL=1 and the SV prefix is all zeros, the operation simply acts as if SV had not been applied at all to the instruction (an "identity operation").
