Data Cache Block Invalidate (dcbi) instruction implemented in 32-bit
designs prior to PowerPC architecture version 2.01 and got obsolete
from version 2.01. Attempt to use of this illegal instruction results
in a hypervisor emulation assistance interrupt. So, drop the option
`i` in cacheflush xmon and continue using `dcbf`.
