PRFW (vector plus immediate) Gather prefetch words (vector plus immediate) Gather prefetch of words from the active memory addresses generated by a vector base plus immediate index. The index is a multiple of 4 in the range 0 to 124. Inactive addresses are not prefetched from memory. The <prfop> symbol specifies the prefetch hint as a combination of three options: access type PLD for load or PST for store; target cache level L1, L2 or L3; temporality (KEEP for temporal or STRM for non-temporal). This instruction is illegal when executed in Streaming SVE mode, unless FEAT_SME_FA64 is implemented and enabled.

<Pg> Is the name of the governing scalable predicate register P0-P7, encoded in the "Pg" field. <Zn> Is the name of the base scalable vector register, encoded in the "Zn" field. <imm> Is the optional unsigned immediate byte offset, a multiple of 4 in the range 0 to 124, defaulting to 0, encoded in the "imm5" field.
