The text says so, but the exception specification says E4NF (ISA extensions doc rev 035). Could this be clarified here and corrected there, please? Thanks1

Hey Jan,

I will try to get the doc fixed. The EVEX encoded versions do support memory fault suppression and should be listed as type E4.  The Legacy and Vex encoded versions obviously do not have masking so they don't have memory fault suppression either. The vex version is  "Type 4". And the legacy versions will need a some text added.

Thanks,
Mark
