Public bug reported:

Two new ISA 3.0 RFCs have been created that add 3 new instructions that
will be present in POWER9.  Binutils support for these new instructions
have been committed to the binutils trunk and 2.26 release branches with
the commits below.  We would like this change to be picked up for the
next release/update.
