Assembly format

zext.h rd, rs1

Synopsis

This instruction zero-extends the least-significant halfword of the source to XLEN by inserting 0’s into all of the bits more significant than 15.

The zext.h instruction is a pseudo-op for pack when Zbkb is implemented and XLEN == 32.
The zext.h instruction is a pseudo-op for packw when Zbkb is implemented and XLEN == 64.
