MOVA (tile to vector, two registers) -- A64

This instruction operates on a horizontal or vertical ZA two-slice operand within a ZA tile of the specified element size.

The first slice of the two-slice operand is selected by rounding down the sum of the slice index register and the immediate offset to the nearest lower multiple of 2, modulo the number of slices in the tile.

The immediate offset is a multiple of 2 in the range 0 to the number of elements in a 128-bit vector segment minus 2.
