The sample code Intel provided on that page compiled/assembled
correctly here, using binutils-2.21.

Noting again that the registers are ordered ax, cx, dx, bx, sp,
bp, si, di, then the opcodes are:

 In 16-bit mode:

    0F C7 F0  through  0F C7 F7
       randomize 16-bit registers ax through di

 In 32-bit mode:

    66 0F C7 F0  through  66 0F C7 F7
       randomize 16-bit registers ax through di

    0F C7 F0  through  0F C7 F7
       randomize 32-bit registers eax through edi

 In 64-bit mode:

    66 0F C7 F0  through  66 0F C7 F7
       randomize 16-bit registers ax through di

    0F C7 F0  through  0F C7 F7
       randomize 32-bit registers eax through edi

    41 0F C7 F0  through  41 0F C7 F7
       randomize 32-bit registers r8d through r15d

    48 0F C7 F0  through  48 0F C7 F7
       randomize 64-bit registers rax through rdi

    49 0F C7 F0  through  49 0F C7 F7
       randomize 64-bit registers r8 through r15

I confirmed those via objdump(1)'s disassembly.

Note the use of prefix octet 0x66 to work on a 16-bit register when
in 32-bit or 64-bit modes and the use of 0x48|0x41 (aka 0x49) to access
the gp registers r8-r15 as 64-bit registers.

It'll be interesting to see what AMD does on this front.
