Signed saturating shift left by immediate
This instruction shifts left by immediate each active signed element of the source vector, and destructively places the results in the corresponding elements of the source vector. Each result element is saturated to the N-bit element's signed integer range -2(N-1) to (2(N-1))-1. The immediate shift amount is an unsigned value in the range 0 to number of bits per element minus 1. Inactive elements in the destination vector register remain unmodified.
