Expand description

Byte-wise lookup of indicies into a vector in registers.

The xperm8 instruction operates on bytes. The rs1 register contains a vector of XLEN/8 8-bit elements. The rs2 register contains a vector of XLEN/8 8-bit indexes. The result is each element in rs2 replaced by the indexed element in rs1, or zero if the index into rs2 is out of bounds.

## §Safety

This function is safe to use if the `zbkx` target feature is present.
