The BPIMVA characteristics are:
Invalidate virtual address from branch predictors.
This instruction is present only when FEAT_AA32EL1 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to BPIMVA are UNDEFINED.
In an implementation where the branch predictors are architecturally invisible, this instruction can execute as a NOP.
BPIMVA is a 32-bit System instruction.

Virtual address to use.
Accesses to this instruction use the following encodings in the System instruction encoding space:
coproc | opc1 | CRn | CRm | opc2 |
---|---|---|---|---|
0b1111 | 0b000 | 0b0111 | 0b0101 | 0b111 |
