I think 2.24 it is ok since it contains the BZ#20139 fix already. For 2.23, although it was not really explicit in NEWS, AVX512 is suppose to be supported in a set of different implementation (memmove/memcpy/libmvec). However my understanding of this issue is limited to be a performance one, so I do not see a pressing matter to change a release requirements for such change.
As far as I understand it, the issue is that the trampoline writes to the SSE/AVX/AVX2 registers, which clears the AVX-512F bits (which are not saved by the trampoline).
Intel introduced AVX512F in such a manner that you have to upgrade kernel and userspace in lock-step, which is of course unrealistic.
