On purpose, cvt16 is dead. It seems to have been advertised in the 
documentation for some time, but later disappeared. The respective 
instructions are now reported via the F16C flag in the Intel leaf.

If you want to know more, I can dig deeper and ask some people. But the 
bit is now "reserved" and was never '1' in any silicon. (And was 
introduced by me into QEMU :-(
