SQDMULH (indexed)

Signed saturating doubling multiply high by indexed element

This instruction multiplies all signed elements within each 128-bit segment of the first source vector by the specified signed element in the corresponding second source vector segment, then doubles and places the most significant half of the result in the corresponding elements of the destination vector register. Each result element is saturated to the N-bit element's signed integer range -2(N-1) to (2(N-1))-1.

The elements within the second source vector are specified using an immediate index that selects the same element position within each 128-bit vector segment. The index range is from 0 to one less than the number of elements per 128-bit segment.

It has encodings from 3 classes: 16-bit , 32-bit and 64-bit
