Why MOV AH,1 is not supported in 64 bit mode of intel microprocessor?

Viewed 1130

In the book "THE INTEL MICROPROCESSORS" of Barry B. Brey, it is written that

MOV AH, 1

is not allowed in 64 bit mode, but allowed in 32 bit or 16 bit mode. If MOV AL, 1 can be allowed in 64 bit mode, what is the problem with MOV AH, 1 ?
