Data Cache Block Invalidate (dcbi) instruction implemented in 32-bit

It was added back in 2.03. It also exists in 64-bit designs (using
category embedded), in 2.07 still even.
Indeed, it has been part of Book3e.
It isn't clear if this is still useful in this context (xmon) though,
since 'dcbf' seems to be equivalent in most respects. At the very least,
we should restrict this to Book3e, if it is of value there.
