I have tested that using a pattern with `bsl` can implement the op. The main idea is 1) compare the shuffle input with an iota index vector, and 2) choose `src` input or `swap two elements in src` based on the comparing result with `bsl`. Hope this could help you!

Thank you for your inputs. I'll look into this.
