(background):
in hardware all 16 combinations are sent to the exact same unit.
the slightly different Form (SVM2 vs SVM because the opcode
args are different bitwidths) is for the convenience of the
assembly writer.
(further background):
svshape is insanely powerful, the sort of thing i revered in
supercomputers from the 90s. it provides Matrix "Structure
Packing" schedules, DCT/FFT, Parallel Reduction, it's pretty
mental. all in-place: no more loop-unrolling, no more transpose
copying of regs.
