+
+**Severity**: Major
+
+**Status**: New
+
+**Date**: 24 Mar 2023
+
+**Target**: v3.2B
+
+**Source**: v3.0B
+
+**Books and Section affected**:
+
+```
+ Book I, new Zero-Overhead-Loop Chapter.
+ Appendix E Power ISA sorted by opcode
+ Appendix F Power ISA sorted by version
+ Appendix G Power ISA sorted by Compliancy Subset
+ Appendix H Power ISA sorted by mnemonic
+```
+
+**Summary**
+
+```
+ svremap - Re-Mapping of Register Element Offsets
+ svindex - General-purpose setting of SHAPEs to be re-mapped
+ svshape - Hardware-level setting of SHAPEs for element re-mapping
+ svshape2 - Hardware-level setting of SHAPEs for element re-mapping (v2)

+**Submitter**: Luke Leighton (Libre-SOC)
+
+**Requester**: Libre-SOC
+
+**Impact on processor**:
+
+```
+ Addition of four new "Zero-Overhead-Loop-Control" DSP-style Vector-style
+ Management Instructions which provide advanced features such as Matrix
+ FFT DCT Hardware-Assist Schedules and general-purpose Index reordering.
+```
+
+**Impact on software**:
+
+```
+ Requires support for new instructions in assembler, debuggers,
+ and related tools.
+```
+
+**Keywords**:
+
+```
+ Cray Supercomputing, Vectorisation, Zero-Overhead-Loop-Control (ZOLC),
+ Scalable Vectors, Multi-Issue Out-of-Order, Sequential Programming Model,
+ Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
+```
+
+**Motivation**
+
+These REMAP Management instructions provide state-of-the-art advanced capabilities
+to dramatically decrease instruction count and power reduction whilst retaining
+unprecedented general-purpose capability and a standard Sequential Execution Model.
+
+**Notes and Observations**:
+
+1. TODO
+
+**Changes**
+
+Add the following entries to:
+
+* the Appendices of Book I
+* Instructions of Book I as a new Section
+* TODO-Form of Book I Section 1.6.1.6 and 1.6.2

+
+* Add `SVL` to `RA (11:15)` Field in Book I, 1.6.2
+* Add `SVL` to `RT (6:10)` Field in Book I, 1.6.2
+* Add `SVL` to `Rc (31)` Field in Book I, 1.6.2
+* Add `SVL` to `XO (26:31)` Field in Book I, 1.6.2
+
+Add the following to Book I, 1.6.2
+
+```
+ ms (23)
+ Field used in Simple-V to specify whether MVL (maxvl in the SVSTATE SPR)
+ is to be set
+ Formats: SVL
+ vf (25)
+ Field used in Simple-V to specify whether "Vertical" Mode is set
+ (vfirst in the SVSTATE SPR)
+ Formats: SVL
+ vs (24)
+ Field used in Simple-V to specify whether VL (vl in the SVSTATE SPR) is to be set
+ Formats: SVL
+ SVi (16:22)
+ Simple-V immediate field used by setvl for setting VL or MVL
+ (vl, maxvl in the SVSTATE SPR)
+ and used as a "Mode of Operation" selector in svstep
