Load predicate register
Load a predicate register from a memory address generated by a 64-bit scalar base, plus an immediate offset in the range -256 to 255 which is multiplied by the current predicate register size in bytes. This instruction is unpredicated.
The load is performed as contiguous byte accesses, each containing 8 consecutive predicate bits in ascending element order, with no endian conversion and no guarantee of single-copy atomicity larger than a byte. However, if alignment is checked, then a general-purpose base register must be aligned to 2 bytes.
For programmer convenience, an assembler must also accept a predicate-as-counter register name for the destination predicate register.

| <Pt> |
Is the name of the destination scalable predicate register, encoded in the "Pt" field. |
| <Xn|SP> |
Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose base register or stack pointer, encoded in the "Rn" field. |
| <imm> |
Is the optional signed immediate vector offset, in the range -256 to 255, defaulting to 0, encoded in the "imm9h:imm9l" fields. |

If FEAT_SVE2 is implemented or FEAT_SME is implemented, then if PSTATE.DIT is 1, the timing of this instruction is insensitive to the value of the data being loaded or stored.
