Data Cache Block Invalidate (dcbi) instruction was implemented back in PowerPC
architecture version 2.03. It is obsolete and attempt to use of this illegal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.

I don't understand. You say two contradictory things:
1/ You say it _was_ added back.
2/ You say it _is_ obsolete.

How can it be obsolete if it was added back ?

You don't need that #ifndef. Keeping it should be harmless.

You don't need that ifndef, just ensure below that regardless of cmd, book3s/64 calls cflush and not cinval.

                if (cmd != 'i') {

The only thing you have to do is to replace the above test by:

                if (cmd != 'i' || IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64)) {

                        for (; nflush > 0; --nflush, adrs += L1_CACHE_BYTES)

Don't need that at all, it's a duplication of the above.
