I expected that an instruction like:

VPSHUFB	Z1, Z8, K0, Z8

would assemble. But it does not. (asm: invalid instruction).
If I change the mask to K1 then it does.

Am I confused about what mask registers are available
in the AVX-512 instruction set, or is the assembler confused?

k0 is a zero register, and avx512 doesn't allow k0 as a write mask (it has the same encoding as no-mask version).
Gnu as also rejects it:

build$ cat a.s
vpshufb   %zmm0,%zmm0,%zmm0{%k1}  #works
vpshufb   %zmm0,%zmm0,%zmm0{%k0}
build$ as a.s
a.s: Assembler messages:
a.s:2: Error: `%k0' can't be used for write mask

Closing as working as intended. Reopen and retitle if you want the assembler to print a more informative error.
