BFCVT
Floating-point convert from single-precision to BFloat16 format (scalar) converts the single-precision floating-point value in the 32-bit SIMD&FP source register to BFloat16 format and writes the result in the 16-bit SIMD&FP destination register.
Unlike the BFloat16 multiplication instructions, this instruction honors all the control bits in the FPCR that apply to single-precision arithmetic, including the rounding mode. This instruction can generate a floating-point exception that causes a cumulative exception bit in the FPSR to be set, or a synchronous exception to be taken, depending on the enable bits in the FPCR. ID_AA64ISAR1_EL1.BF16 indicates whether this instruction is supported.
