MOVAZ (tile to vector, single)

Move and zero ZA tile slice to Z vector

This instruction operates on a horizontal or vertical slice within a named ZA tile of the specified element size. The tile slice is zeroed after moving its contents to the destination vector.

The slice number within the tile is selected by the sum of the slice index register and immediate offset, modulo the number of such elements in a vector. The immediate offset is in the range 0 to the number of elements in a 128-bit vector segment minus 1.

This instruction is unpredicated.

It has encodings from 5 classes: 8-bit , 16-bit , 32-bit , 64-bit and 128-bit
