The Scalable Matrix Extension (SME) introduces a new execution mode
called Streaming SVE mode. In streaming mode a substantial subset of the
SVE and SVE2 instruction set is available, along with new outer product,
load, store, extract and insert instructions that operate on the new
architectural register state for the matrix.
To support streaming mode this patch introduces a new subtarget feature
+streaming-sve. If enabled, the subset of SVE(2) instructions are
available. The existing behaviour for SVE(2) remains unchanged, the
subset of instructions that are legal in streaming mode are enabled if
either +sve[2] or +streaming-sve is specified. Instructions that are
illegal in streaming mode remain predicated on +sve[2].
The SME target feature has been updated to imply +streaming-sve rather
than +sve.
The following changes are made to the SVE(2) tests:
- For instructions that are legal in streaming mode:
- added RUN line to verify +streaming-sve enables the instruction.
- updated diagnostic to 'instruction requires: streaming-sve or sve'.
- For instructions that are illegal in streaming-mode:
- added RUN line to verify +streaming-sve does not enable the instruction.
SVE(2) instructions that are legal in streaming mode have:
if !HaveSVE[2]() && !HaveSME() then UNDEFINED;
at the top of the pseudocode in the XML.

Instead of moving these around, can you do:
That makes the patch easier to review, and we could possibly follow this up with a separate NFC change that shuffles these around in the file for readability (although I'm not sure yet if that's necessarily what we want).
