Right, later. Already tagged the branch so that Vinod can base stuff ontop.

It looks like support for this insn got introduced in this binutils commit:
c0a30a9f0ab4 ("Enable Intel MOVDIRI, MOVDIR64B instructions")
So I guess from 2.31 onwards:
$ git tag --contains c0a30a9f0ab48 binutils-2_31 binutils-2_31_1 binutils-2_32 binutils-2_33 binutils-2_33_1 binutils-2_34 binutils-2_35 binutils-2_35_1 gdb-8.2-release gdb-8.2.1-release gdb-8.3-release gdb-8.3.1-release gdb-9.1-release gdb-9.2-release ...
