Add an s390 specific probe_kernel_write() function which allows to
write to the kernel text segment even if write protection is enabled.
This is implemented using the lra (load real address) and stura (store
using real address) instructions.

probe_kernel_write() gets used to write to the kernel address space.
E.g. to patch the kernel (kgdb, ftrace, kprobes...). Some architectures
however enable write protection for the kernel text section, so that
writes to this region would fault.
This patch allows to specify an architecture specific version of
probe_kernel_write() which allows to handle and bypass write protection
of the text segment.
That way it is still possible to catch random writes to kernel text
and explicitly allow writes via this interface.

profile_tick is called twice for every clock comparator interrupt.
The generic clock event code does it in tick_sched_timer and the
s390 backend code in clock_comparator_work. That is one too many,
remove the one in the arch backend code.

If a DASD requests is started with dasd_sleep_on and fails, then the
calling function may need to know the reason for the failure.
In cases of hardware errors it can inspect the sense data in the irb,
but when the reason is internal (e.g. start_IO failed) then it needs
a meaningfull return code.

Some functions called as a late_initcall depend on completely
initialized devices. Since commit
f3445a1a65 the dasd driver uses the
new async framework and relies on the fact that synchronization is
done in prepare_namespace which is called after the late_initcalls.
Fix this by calling async_synchronize_full at the end of the related
init functions.

git commit f331c0296f changed users of
->first_minor to devt. This broke device handling in dcssblk, so that
no additional devices could be added after the first one.
This patch reverts the devt conversion to the previous ->first_minor
handling.

With the kernel parameter 'vmalloc=<size>' the size of the vmalloc area
can be specified. This can be used to increase or decrease the size of
the area. Works in the same way as on some other architectures.
This can be useful for features which make excessive use of vmalloc and
wouldn't work otherwise.
The default sizes remain unchanged: 96MB for 31 bit kernels and 1GB for
64 bit kernels.

Lockdep found a problem with the lock order of the view lock and the
ccw device lock. raw3270_activate_view/raw3270_deactivate_view first
take the ccw device lock then call the activate/deactivate functions
of the view which take view lock. The update functions of the
con3270/tty3270 view will first take the view lock, then take the
ccw device lock. To fix this the activate/deactivate functions are
changed to avoid taking the view lock by moving the functions calls
that modify the 3270 output buffer to the update function which is
called by a timer.

The tty3270_notifier that calls tty_register_device / tty_unregister_device
is harmful in two ways:
1) the device node that is create is wrong because the minor numbers for
3270 tty start with 1 and tty_notifier passes the minor as index.
2) If 1) is corrected you'll get a warning:
WARNING: at fs/sysfs/dir.c:462 sysfs_add_one+0x4c/0x60()
sysfs: duplicate filename '227:1' can not be created
The 227:1 link is already created by raw3270_create_attributes to refer
to ../../class/tty/tty<devno>. There cannot be two links.

This adds a mini sclp device driver for very early use. The primary
and probably only use will be to emit a message to the console if the
cpu doesn't provide the minimum required capabilities to run the kernel.
After printing the message a disabled wait will be loaded and the
machine stops operating.
Printing the message is also part of this patch.
