that would come with a corresponding expectation of... oh wait
it does indeed shift the lower half up, doesn't it? that's a
hilarious quirk of BF16.

> fishmv -> either fmil (floating move immediate lower) or fmi2 (floating move
> immediate 2nd-half/part-2 -- allows future extension for fmi3/fmi4 for full
> bfp64 if desired)

hmm hmm i thought initially "yep you don't wanna do that because of
pfmis and pfmil", but i just realised that SVP64 would be punished
for it [no 96-bit instructions allowed].

so yes i like it.
