Expand description

Cast vector of type __m128 to type __m512; the upper 384 bits of the result are indeterminate.

In the Intel documentation, the upper bits are declared to be “undefined”. This is not equivalent to `mem::MaybeUninit`; instead, these bits are non-deterministically set to some valid value. In practice, this is typically equivalent to `mem::zeroed`.

This intrinsic is only used for compilation and does not generate any instructions, thus it has zero latency.
