Floating-point maximum with immediate (predicated)
This instruction determines the maximum of an immediate and each active floating-point element of the source vector, and destructively places the results in the corresponding elements of the source vector. The immediate may take the value +0.0 or +1.0 only.
When FPCR.AH is 0, the behavior is as follows:
When FPCR.AH is 1, the behavior is as follows:
Inactive elements in the destination vector register remain unmodified.

This instruction might be immediately preceded in program order by a MOVPRFX instruction. The MOVPRFX must conform to all of the following requirements, otherwise the behavior of the MOVPRFX and this instruction is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE:
