    powerpc/xmon: Use `dcbf` inplace of `dcbi` instruction for 64bit Book3S · 81a41325
    Balamuruhan S authored
    Data Cache Block Invalidate (dcbi) instruction implemented back in
    PowerPC architecture version 2.03. But as per Power Processor Users Manual
    it is obsolete and not supported by POWER8/POWER9 core. Attempt to use of
    this illegal instruction results in a hypervisor emulation assistance
    interrupt. So, ifdef it out the option `i` in xmon for 64bit Book3S.
