Brendan Punsky 421262e84e rexcode/arm32: the NEON by-scalar forms dropped the lane they multiply by
VMLA, VMUL, VMLAL, VQDMULL, VSDOT, VCMLA and the rest of the by-scalar
family take one lane of a low D register as the multiplier -- `d0[2]`,
not `d0`. Every one of them printed the bare register, which is not only
missing information but assembles to a different instruction: the
by-vector form.

The forms already declared the operand type as DPR_ELEM; what they
lacked was an encoding that knows the register number and the lane
number share a single four-bit field. How they share it depends on the
element size, and the two splits are different enough to be separate
encodings: 16-bit takes Vm from bits 2:0, so D0..D7, and the lane from
M:bit3, giving four lanes; 32-bit takes Vm from bits 3:0, so D0..D15,
and the lane from M alone, giving two. The dot-product and complex
forms share the 32-bit split despite being 8- and 16-bit operations.

Those reaches are now checked when selecting a form, so `d8[0]` on a
16-bit form matches nothing rather than quietly encoding as `d0[0]`,
and a lane-less operand no longer matches a by-scalar form at all.

The Odin Programming Language

Odin is a general-purpose programming language with distinct typing, built for high performance, modern systems, and built-in data-oriented data types. The Odin Programming Language, the C alternative for the joy of programming.
