SVP48, then to reorganize them both to improve field overlap, reducing the
amount of decoder hardware necessary.
+All bit numbers are in MSB0 form (the bits are numbered from 0 at the MSB and
+counting up as you move to the LSB end). All bit ranges are inclusive (so
+`4:6` means bits 4, 5, and 6).
+
+64-bit instructions are split into two 32-bit words, the prefix and the suffix. The prefix always comes before the suffix in PC order.
