+-  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 are monotonically non-increasing in each loop iteration. That is,

+-  For a loop that uses this intrinsic, the number of iterations is equal to

+-  If ``%cnt`` is non-zero, the return value is non-zero as well.
+-  If ``%cnt`` is less than or equal to ``%max_lanes``, the return value is equal to ``%cnt``.
