+
+For SVP64 these use EXTRA2 and allow Twin Elwidths. The reason is so
+that the Register used as an Accumulator (RS) may have its own
+Element Width Override. This allows e.g. a 16 bit accumulator for 8 bit
+differences.

 # shift-and-add
 
 Power ISA is missing LD/ST with shift, which is present in both ARM and x86.
