LDARH
Load-acquire register halfword
This instruction derives an address from a base register value,
loads a halfword from memory, zero-extends it, and writes it to a register.
The instruction also has memory ordering
semantics as described in
Load-Acquire, Store-Release.
For information about addressing modes, see
Load/Store addressing modes.
For this instruction, if the destination is WZR/XZR, it is impossible
for software to observe the presence of the acquire semantic other
than its effect on the arrival at endpoints.
If PSTATE.DIT is 1, the timing of this instruction is insensitive to the value of the data being loaded or stored.
