the matrix REMAP scheduler basically subdivides a linear element
sequence 0 1 2 3 .... into up to 3 "dimensions"

example, X=3,Y=2, order=YX

0 3 1 4 2 5

in this way by having different "schedules" for src and dest vectors
you can issue FMACs that will create a full NxM to MxO matrix multiply

... with *one* instruction (caveat: plus about 6 32bit "REMAP" words).

to get to this point however has been a hell of a lot of work.  it's
not something you just chuck into a standard single-issue core.
