Operands

$t1
Any general-purpose register, $0 to $31, using its numeric or named spelling, such as $8 or $t0 ($zero is $0; $ra is $31).
$t2
A general-purpose register. It may be the same register as $t1.
$t3
A general-purpose register. It may be the same register as $t1.

Like 'sra' but the shift amount is taken from the lowest 5 bits of register $t3. Vacated bits are sign-filled.

# Initialize both inputs, then execute srav with initialized inputs. Inspect $t2: 0.
