Every time we add new instruction definitions to the HLASM opcode
tables, we create a few test cases for each new instruction which
include the expected hex code as a comment, so that we can verify
automatically (using CMS Pipelines) that the expected code has been
generated.

Our test cases included the WFKHEXBS extended mnemonic, so that has
definitely been assembled correctly.

That mnemonic was included in the preview updates to Principles of
Operation provided by the architects, but it was the last one in the
list and appeared on its own at the top of a new column, and appears to
have been lost during the merge into the published version.  I have
informed the current editor about this omission.
