Description

The top-level module docs should just document which subset of the intrinsics are implemented in each module (e.g. DSP intrinsics), ideally with a link to the spec of those intrinsics, instead of containing lists of intrinsics and what not.

The docs of the intrinsics use [0] and [1] to denote the arguments, but then they use a and b as argument names. The doc comments should only refer to a and b in that case.

Research direction

Start by locating the top-level module documentation and the ARM ACLE intrinsic doc comments mentioned in the issue, then compare the implemented module subsets with the relevant ACLE specification. Done means module docs describe only their supported intrinsic subsets with spec links, and intrinsic comments consistently refer to arguments as a and b rather than [0] and [1].
