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
...
