Note on considered alternative naming schemes: we decided to switch to using the reduced mnemonic naming scheme (over some people's objections) since it would be 5 instructions instead of dozens, though we did consider trying to match PowerISA's existing naming scheme for the instructions rather than only for the instruction aliases. <https://bugs.libre-soc.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1015#c7>

-Notes:
-
-* `fmvis` and `fishmv` have already been submitted to the ISA WG, so don't modify them!
-* PowerISA uses `s` and `.` suffixes instead of an immediate for Single and Rc=1 modes respectively.
-* PowerISA uses `w`, `uw`, `d`, and `ud` suffixes instead of an immediate for selecting between unsigned/signed 32-bit/64-bit.
-* Jacob: About the only operations I can see that we can realistically remove are Rc=1 versions, however imho that isn't necessary.
-* Realistically we can't remove any of the Rc=0 instructions because it would make the instruction set non-orthogonal and it would penalize the code using those operations, almost all of which are quite common.
-* Attempting to condense them into 6 instructions by undoing the PowerISA naming scheme works, but all that changed is the assembler mnemonics (in a bad way by being inconsistent with how PowerISA names things), the instruction encodings don't change at all, unless we want to use an expanded opcode.
-* Jacob: I think we will want to keep the Single versions of moves/conversions from FPRs to GPRs, since it seems likely to run faster than the Double versions on some CPUs.
