      <para>This instruction performs a bitwise AND of the 128-bit
vector in a source SIMD&amp;FP register and the complement of
the vector in another source SIMD&amp;FP register, then performs a
bitwise exclusive-OR of the resulting vector and the vector in a
third source SIMD&amp;FP register, and writes the result to the
destination SIMD&amp;FP register.</para>
