-## msubed

-The pseudocode for `msubed RT, RA, RB, RC`` is:
-
-    prod[0:127] = (RA) * (RB)
-    sub[0:127] = EXTZ(RC) - prod
-    RT <- sub[64:127]
-    RS <- sub[0:63] # RS is either RC or RT+VL
-
-Note that RC is not sign-extended to 64-bit.  In a Vector Loop
-it contains the top half of the previous multiply-with-subtract,
-and the current product must be subtracted from it.
