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.
