BFMUL (multiple vectors)

Multi-vector BFloat16 multiply

This instruction multiplies all the BFloat16 elements of the two or four first source vectors with the corresponding elements of the two or four second source vectors and places the results in the corresponding elements of the two or four destination vectors.

This instruction follows SME2 non-widening BFloat16 numerical behaviors corresponding to instructions that place their results in two or four SVE Z vectors.

This instruction is unpredicated.
