Predicate extract from predicate-as-counter
This instruction converts the source predicate-as-counter into a four register wide predicate-as-mask, and copies the portion of the mask value selected by the portion index to the destination predicate register. A portion corresponds to a one predicate register fraction of the wider predicate-as-mask value.
