      <para>Vector Saturating Shift Right, Narrow takes each element in
a quadword vector of integers, right shifts them by an immediate
value, and places the truncated results in a doubleword vector.</para>
      <para>For rounded results, see
<xref linkend="ARMARM_A32T32-fpsimd.instructions.VQRSHRN">VQRSHRN and
VQRSHRUN</xref>.</para>
      <para>The operand elements must all be the same size, and can be
any one of:</para>
      <list type="unordered">
        <listitem>
          <content>16-bit, 32-bit, or 64-bit signed integers.</content>
        </listitem>
        <listitem>
          <content>16-bit, 32-bit, or 64-bit unsigned integers.</content>
        </listitem>
      </list>
      <para>The result elements are half the width of the operand elements.
If the operand elements are signed, the results can be either signed
or unsigned. If the operand elements are unsigned, the result elements
must also be unsigned.</para>
      <para>If any of the results overflow, they are saturated. The cumulative
saturation bit, <xref linkend="ARMARM_AArch32.fpscr">FPSCR</xref>.QC, is set if
saturation occurs. For details see <xref linkend="ARMARM_BEIHABGJ">Pseudocode
details of saturation</xref>.</para>
      <para>Depending on settings in the <xref linkend="ARMARM_AArch32.cpacr">CPACR</xref>,
<xref linkend="ARMARM_AArch32.nsacr">NSACR</xref>, and
<xref linkend="ARMARM_AArch32.hcptr">HCPTR</xref> registers, and the Security
state and PE mode in which the instruction is executed, an attempt to
execute the instruction might be <arm-defined-word>UNDEFINED</arm-defined-word>, or
trapped to Hyp mode.
