Format:
LH rt, offset(base)
Description:
The 16-bit offset is sign-extended and added to the contents of general
register base to form a virtual address. The contents of the halfword at the
memory location specified by the effective address are sign-extended and
loaded into general register rt.
If the least-significant bit of the effective address is non-zero, an address
error exception occurs.
Operation:
Exceptions:
TLB refill exception
TLB invalid exception
Bus error exception
Address error exception
