FDIV SVE instruction is generated with the predicate register whose all bits are active. This FDIV sets the divide-by-zero flag (the bit 1 (DZC) of FPSR register) unnecessarily. Should this instruction be executed with the appropriate predicate bits? 

In addition to FDIV, there may be other flags in the FPSR(IOC, OFC, UFC, IXC, etc.) that could be set by performing operations on SIMD lanes that do not contain the intended values in FADD/FSUB/FMUL as well.
