This patch enables virtio_console as the default console on kvm for
s390. We currently use the same notify hack as lguest for early
console output. I will try to address this for lguest and s390 later.

Most likely it is broken anyway because of the changes in memory
detection. Since we can't test it and there are probably better ways
that using a P390 card, remove support for it.

Move memory detection code to own file and also simplify it.
Also add an interface which can be called at any time to get the
current memory layout. This interface is needed by our kernel
internal system dumper.

Now it is possible to specify additional kernel parameters on the IPL
command line using the IPL PARM option.
If the Linux system is already running, the new reipl sysfs attribute
'parm' can be used to change kernel parameters for the next reboot.
Examples:
IPL C PARM dasd=1234 root=/dev/dasda1
IPL 1234 PARM savesys=mylnxnss
echo "init=/bin/bash" > /sys/firmware/reipl/ccw/parm

This adds hugetlbfs support on System z, using both hardware large page

Shared (large) page tables are implemented in software emulation mode,
by using page->index of the first tail page from a compound large page
to store page table information.

This lets us use defines for the magic bits in machine flags instead
of using plain numbers all over the place.
In addition on newer machines features/facilities are indicated by the
result of the stfl instruction. So we use these bits instead of trying
to execute new instructions and check wether we get an exception or
not.
Also the mvpg instruction is always available when in zArch mode,
whereas the idte instruction is only available in zArch mode. This
results in some minor optimizations.

This patch adds functionality to detect if the kernel runs under the KVM
hypervisor. A macro MACHINE_IS_KVM is exported for device drivers. This
allows drivers to skip device detection if the systems runs non-virtualized.
We also define a preferred console to avoid having the ttyS0, which is a line

The SIE instruction on s390 uses the 2nd half of the page table page to
virtualize the storage keys of a guest. This patch offers the s390_enable_sie
function, which reorganizes the page tables of a single-threaded process to
reserve space in the page table:
s390_enable_sie makes sure that the process is single threaded and then uses
dup_mm to create a new mm with reorganized page tables. The old mm is freed
and the process has now a page status extended field after every page table.
Code that wants to exploit pgstes should SELECT CONFIG_PGSTE.
This patch has a small common code hit, namely making dup_mm non-static.
Edit (Carsten): I've modified Martin's patch, following Jeremy Fitzhardinge's
review feedback. Now we do have the prototype for dup_mm in
include/linux/sched.h. Following Martin's suggestion, s390_enable_sie() does now
call task_lock() to prevent race against ptrace modification of mm_users.

This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the
BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions
between crashkernel area and already used memory.
This patch:
Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
has been reserved in the past. This is to avoid conflicts.
Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition
inside reserve_bootmem_core().

In case of a kernel panic it is currently possible to specify that a dump
should be created, the system should be rebooted or stopped. Virtual sysfs
files under the directory /sys/firmware/ are used for that configuration.
In addition to that, there are kernel parameters 'vmhalt', 'vmpoff'
and 'vmpanic', which can be used to specify z/VM commands, which are
automatically executed in case of halt, power off or a kernel panic.
This patch combines both functionalities and allows to specify the z/VM CP
commands also via sysfs attributes. In addition to that, it enhances the
existing handling of shutdown triggers (e.g. halt or panic) and associated
shutdown actions (e.g. dump or reipl) and makes it more flexible.

Currently the vmalloc area starts at a dynamic address depending on
the memory size. There was also an 8MB security hole after the
physical memory to catch out-of-bounds accesses.
We can simplify the code by putting the vmalloc area explicitely at
the top of the kernel mapping and setting the vmalloc size to a fixed
value of 128MB/128GB for 31bit/64bit systems. Part of the vmalloc
area will be used for the vmem_map. This leaves an area of 96MB/1GB
for normal vmalloc allocations.

Add a new interface so that cpus can be put into standby state and
configured state.
Only offline cpus can be put into standby state or configured state.
For that the new percpu sysfs attribute "configure" must be used.
To put a cpu in standby state a "0" must be written to the attribute.
In order to switch it into configured state a "1" must be written to
the attribute.
Only cpus in configured state can be brought online.
In addition this patch introduces a static mapping of physical to
logical cpus. As a result only the sysfs directories of present cpus
will be created. To scan for new cpus the new sysfs attribute "rescan"
must be used.
Writing to /sys/devices/system/cpu/rescan will trigger a rescan of
cpus and will create directories for new cpus.
On IPL only configured cpus will be used. And on reboot/shutdown all
cpus will remain in their current state (configured/standby).
