Load unprivileged pair of SIMD&FP registers
This instruction loads a pair of SIMD&FP registers from memory. The address that is used for the load is calculated from a base register value and an optional immediate offset.
Depending on the settings in the CPACR_EL1, CPTR_EL2, and CPTR_EL3 registers, and the current Security state and Exception level, an attempt to execute the instruction might be trapped.
Explicit Memory effects produced by the instruction behave as if the instruction was executed at EL0 if the Effective value of PSTATE.UAO is 0 and either:
Otherwise, the Explicit Memory effects operate with the restrictions determined by the Exception level at which the instruction is executed.
It has encodings from 3 classes: Post-index , Pre-index and Signed offset

LDTP has the same CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE behavior as LDP (SIMD&FP). See Architectural Constraints on UNPREDICTABLE behaviors, and particularly LDP (SIMD&FP).
