Huh, it's literally in every instruction description (in appendix a)
for instructions that do branch with prediction.

    To set the branch prediction bit "p", append either ",pt" for
    predict taken or ",pn" for predict not taken to the opcode
    mnemonic.  In neither ",pt" nor ",pn" is specified, the assembler
    shall default to ",pt".

SY, Uwe
