Description:: 
Produces the high half of 128-bit carry-less product.

Each 64-bit element in the `vs2` vector register is carry-less multiplied by 
either each 64-bit element in `vs1` (vector-vector), or the 64-bit value
from integer register `rs1` (vector-scalar). The result is the most
significant 64 bits of the carry-less product.

// This instruction must always be implemented such that its execution latency does not depend
// on the data being operated upon.

Operation::
