Care should be taken when using vector instructions to ensure that they are available at
runtime.
To use vector instructions a machine must have both the vector facility (bit 129 in the
facility list) and kernel support.
Without kernel support a vector instruction will have no effect (it will be equivalent
to a <code>NOP</code> instruction).
