BFloat16 floating-point matrix multiply-accumulate
This BFloat16 floating-point (BF16) matrix multiply-accumulate instruction multiplies the 2×4 matrix of BF16 values held in each 128-bit segment of the first source vector by the 4×2 BF16 matrix in the corresponding segment of the second source vector. The resulting 2×2 single-precision (FP32) matrix product is then destructively added to the FP32 matrix accumulator held in the corresponding segment of the addend and destination vector. This is equivalent to performing a 4-way dot product per destination element.
This instruction is unpredicated and vector length agnostic.
All floating-point calculations performed by this instruction are performed with the following behaviors, irrespective of the value in FPCR:
* Uses the non-IEEE 754 Round-to-Odd mode, which forces bit 0 of an inexact result to 1, and rounds an overflow to an appropriately signed Infinity.
* The cumulative FPSR exception bits (IDC, IXC, UFC, OFC, DZC and IOC) are not modified.
* Trapped floating-point exceptions are disabled, as if the FPCR trap enable bits (IDE, IXE, UFE, OFE, DZE and IOE) are all zero.
* Denormalized inputs and results are flushed to zero, as if FPCR.FZ == 1.
* Only the Default NaN is generated, as if FPCR.DN == 1.

This instruction might be immediately preceded in program order by a MOVPRFX instruction. The MOVPRFX instruction must conform to all of the following requirements, otherwise the behavior of the MOVPRFX and this instruction is unpredictable:
