Description:

INSxL and INSxH shift bytes from register Ra and insert them into a field of zeros, storing the result in register Rc. Register Rbv’<2:0> selects the shift amount, and the function code selects the maximum field width: 1, 2, 4, or 8 bytes. The instructions can generate a byte, word, longword, or quadword datum that is spread across two registers at an arbitrary byte alignment.
