Description
Swaps the contents of register rA treated as two halfwords, and places the result in rD. This effectively
converts the two halfwords in the register between endianness formats, either from little-endian to
big-endian or vice versa.
Pseudocode
(rD)[0:15] ← (rA)[16:31]
(rD)[16:31]
← (rA)[0:15]

Note
This instruction is only valid if MicroBlaze is configured to use reorder instructions
(C_USE_REORDER_INSTR = 1).
