## Overview

Intrinsics to set,get and clear the control registers.

These registers have values by default afte reset.

### Control registers:

Register | Width | Initial | Meaning
--- | --- | --- | ---
crSat - Saturation Mode | 2 | 0 | 0 – No saturation; truncation of MSBs
|  | 0 | 1 – Perform saturation
|  | 0 | 3 – Perform symmetric saturation
crRnd - Rounding Mode | 4 | 0 | Rounding modes
crFPMask | 5 | 0 | Flag mask for floating point operations
crF2IMask | 5 | 0 | Flag mask for float to int conversions
crF2FMask | 5 | 0 | Flag mask for int to float conversions
crMCDEn | 1 | 1 | MCD output enable
crSCDEn | 1 | 1 | SCD output enable
crVaddSign | 1 | 0 | Sign of dynamic VADD operations
crUnpackSign | 1 | 0 | Sign of dynamic unpack operations
crPackSign | 1 | 0 | Sign of dynamic pack operations
crUPSSign | 1 | 0 | Sign of dynamic UPS operations
crSRSSign | 1 | 0 | Sign of dynamic SRS operations
