configured to execute a second instruction to cause the first register to
be set to a first value using the feature indicator and to cause the
second register to be set to a second value using the feature indicator.
The execution core is configured to execute the first sequence of one or
more instructions to cause a function to be performed in response to the
first value in the first register indicating a true condition, and the
execution core is configured to execute a second sequence of one or more
instructions to cause the function to be performed in response to the
