No assembler spells these `vld1_lane` or `vmov_lane`; they are `vld1`
and `vmov` with a lane-indexed operand. All nine are now their base
mnemonic. Merging them meant fixing what the separate names had been
hiding.
VLD1_LANE and VST1_LANE were byte-for-byte duplicates of forms VLD1 and
VST1 already had, with a looser mask, and neither encoded the lane --
both used .VD_D, which has no lane field. `vld1.8 {d0[3]}, [r0]`
disassembled as `vld1.8 d0, [r0]`. VMOV had the same shape: its own
DPR_ELEM form dropped the index, while VMOV_LANE's three forms carried
the per-size encodings that actually work. The lane-dropping forms are
gone and the working ones now sit under the base mnemonic.
VLD2-4/VST2-4's single-lane forms left bits 9:8 free, and that field is
what separates VLD1/2/3/4 -- so VLD4's encoding matched VLD2's entry and
disassembled as the wrong instruction.
Two more things the lane could not survive. A lane index of 0 printed
nothing, because 0 doubled as "no lane" -- `vmov.32 d0[0], r0` came out
as `vmov.32 d0, r0`, a different instruction. And a lane inside a
register list was dropped entirely, so `{d0[1], d1[1]}` printed as
`{d0, d1}`.
The whole set is byte-exact against llvm-mc: 27 single-lane forms across
VLD1-4/VST1-4 and all three VMOV element sizes. arm32 is 1649/1649 on
the sweep and 436/436 on the table checks, with the stale expectations
for the forms this corrected updated to the verified values.
