result should be used to decrease the count for the next iteration until the
count reaches zero.
-If the count is larger than the number of lanes in the type described by the
-last 2 arguments, this intrinsic may return a value less than the number of
-lanes implied by the type. The result will be at least as large as the result
-will be on any later loop iteration.
+Let ``%max_lanes`` be the number of lanes in the type described by ``%vf`` and
+``%scalable``, here are the constraints on the returned value:
-This intrinsic will only return 0 if the input count is also 0. A non-zero input
-count will produce a non-zero result.
+- If ``%cnt`` equals to 0, returns 0.
+- The returned value is always less than or equal to ``%max_lanes``.
+- The returned value is always greater than or equal to ``ceil(%cnt / ceil(%cnt / %max_lanes))``.
+- The returned values decrease monotonically in each loop iteration. That is,
+ the returned value of a iteration is at least as large as that of any later
+ iterations.
+
+Note that it has the following implications:
+
+- If ``%cnt`` is non-zero, the result should be non-zero as well.
+- If ``%cnt`` is less than ``%max_lanes``, it has to return ``%cnt``.
