The ENC_SOPP layout from AMD's machine-readable ISA specification (AMD CDNA 5). Opcode 54 in OP rebuilds 0xBFB60000, an identifier AMD lists for this encoding. Not the same in every generation: AMD CDNA 4 (opcode 16), AMD CDNA 3 (opcode 16), AMD CDNA 2 (opcode 16), AMD CDNA 1 (opcode 16), AMD RDNA 2 (opcode 16), AMD RDNA 1 (opcode 16). The same in AMD RDNA 4, AMD RDNA 3.5, AMD RDNA 3.
