MOVSX sign-extends its source (second) operand to the length of
its destination (first) operand, and copies the result into the
destination operand. MOVZX does the same, but zero-extends
rather than sign-extending.

Forms
Every form of movzxw the assembler accepts, from NASM's own instruction table.
The second column is the processor that introduced the form; a badge marks a form that needs
an extension, that is lockable, or that long mode dropped.
