QDSUB
Saturating Double and Subtract
Saturating Double and Subtract subtracts a doubled register value from another register value, and writes the result to the destination register. Both the doubling and the subtraction have their results saturated to the 32-bit signed integer range -231 <= x <= 231 - 1. If saturation occurs in either operation, it sets PSTATE.Q to 1.
