This is termed `scalar identity behaviour` (based on the mathematical definition for "identity", as in, "identity matrix" or better "identity transformation"). Note that this is completely different from when VL=0. VL=0 turns all operations under its influence into `nops`, whereas when VL=1 and the SV prefix is all zeros, the operation simply acts as if SV had not been applied at all to the instruction (an "identity operation"). -- 2.30.2
