Multi-vector BFloat16 convert to 8-bit floating-point
This instruction converts each BFloat16 element of the two source vectors to 8-bit floating-point while scaling the value by 2SInt(FPMR.NSCALE), and places the results in the half-width elements of the destination vector. The 8-bit floating-point encoding format is selected by FPMR.F8D.
This instruction is unpredicated.

| <Zd> |
Is the name of the destination scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zd" field. |
| <Zn1> |
Is the name of the first scalable vector register of the source multi-vector group, encoded as "Zn" times 2. |
| <Zn2> |
Is the name of the second scalable vector register of the source multi-vector group, encoded as "Zn" times 2 plus 1. |
