Charles, The "Summary of Changes in xxx Edition" sections in the Preface of the z/Arch PoOP each list pretty comprehensively which "facilities" or instruction enhancements were documented in each edition of the PoOP, and each edition corresponds reasonably closely to a particular generation of processor.
The descriptions of each of the added "facilities" documented elsewhere in the PoOP usually also includes a table of which instructions were added or enhanced, or at least a listing of those instructions. Below I have pasted a list which I prepared for my own curiosity (admittedly incomplete and possibly incorrect) of which edition of the PoOP corresponds to which z/Arch machine.
