**Notes and Observations**:
1. SVP64 REMAP Parallel Reduction needs a single Scalar instruction to
- work with, for best effectiveness. With no SFFS minimum/maximum instructions
- Simple-V min/max Parallel Reduction is severely compromised.
-2. Once one FP min/max mode is implemented the rest are not much more
- hardware.
-3. There exists similar instructions in VSX (not IEEE754-2019 though).
- This is frequently used to justify not
- adding them. However SVP64/VSX may have different meaning from SVP64/SFFS,
- so it is *really* crucial to have SFFS ops even if "equivalent" to VSX
- in order for SVP64 to not be compromised (non-orthogonal).

4. FP min/max are rather complex to implement in software, the most commonly
- used FP max function `fmax` from glibc compiled for SFFS is an
- astounding 32 instructions.
