-add crazy vector instructions (MVI):
-
-(MIN|MAX)(U|S)(B8|W4) min and max, signed and unsigned, byte and word
-PKWB, UNPKBW pack/unpack word to byte
-PKLB UNPKBL pack/unpack long to byte
-PERR pixel error (sum across bytes of bytewise abs(i8v8 a - i8v8 b))
-
-cmpbytes bytewise cmpeq of i8v8 a and i8v8 b (not part of MVI extensions)
-
-this has some good examples for other operations that can be synthesised well
-from these rather meager vector ops (such as saturating add).
