Floating-point down convert to BFloat16 format (predicated)
Convert to BFloat16 from single-precision in each active floating-point element of the source vector, and place the results in the corresponding elements of the destination vector. Inactive elements in the destination vector register remain unmodified.
Since the result type is smaller than the input type, the results are zero-extended to fill each destination element.
ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1.BF16 indicates whether this instruction is implemented.

This instruction might be immediately preceded in program order by a MOVPRFX instruction. The MOVPRFX instruction must conform to all of the following requirements, otherwise the behavior of the MOVPRFX and this instruction is unpredictable:
