Balamuruhan S 81a413259a powerpc/xmon: Use dcbf inplace of dcbi instruction for 64bit Book3S
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it is obsolete and not supported by POWER8/POWER9 core.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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
