Expand description

Casts vector of type __m128i to type __m256i; the upper 128 bits of the result are indeterminate.

In the Intel documentation, the upper bits are declared to be “undefined”. This is not equivalent to `mem::MaybeUninit`; instead, these bits are non-deterministically set to some valid value. In practice, this is typically equivalent to `mem::zeroed`.
