# Rationale for Twin Butterfly Integer DCT Instruction(s)
-The number of general-purpose uses for DCT is huge. The
-number of instructions needed instead of these Twin-Butterfly
-instructions is also huge (**eight**) and given that it is
-extremely common to explicitly loop-unroll them quantity
-hundreds to thousands of instructions are dismayingly common
-(for all ISAs).

The goal is to implement instructions that calculate the expression:
(((value) + (1 << ((n)-1))) >> (n))
```
-These instructions are at the core of **ALL** FDCT calculations in many major video codecs, including -but not limited to- VP8/VP9, AV1, etc.
-Arm includes special instructions to optimize these operations, although they are limited in precision: `vqrdmulhq_s16`/`vqrdmulhq_s32`.

-The suggestion is to have a single instruction to calculate both values `((a + b) * c) >> N`, and `((a - b) * c) >> N`.
-The instruction will run in accumulate mode, so in order to calculate the 2-coeff version one would just have to call the same instruction with different order a, b and a different constant c.

-Similar to `RTp`, this instruction produces an implicit result,
-`RS`, which under Scalar circumstances is defined as `RT+1`.
-For SVP64 if `RT` is a Vector, `RS` begins immediately after the
-Vector `RT` where the length of `RT` is set by `SVSTATE.MAXVL`
-(Max Vector Length).

Special Registers Altered:
The Floating-Point operand in register FRT is added to the floating-point
operand in register FRB and the result stored in FRS.
-Using the exact same operand input register values from FRT and FRB that
-were used to create FRS, the Floating-Point operand in register FRB
-is subtracted from the floating-point operand in register FRT and the
-result then multiplied by FRA to create an intermediate result that is
