Explicitly write the system call number for each define instead of
calculating it. This makes it easier to parse the file when generating
system call tables for various tools and libraries.

As discussed on linux-arch all architectures should wire up the separate
system calls that are hidden behind the socketcall multiplexer system call.

It's just a couple more system calls and gives us a very small performance
improvement.

<title>KVM: s390: Allocate and save/restore vector registers</title>

Define and allocate space for both the host and guest views of
the vector registers for a given vcpu.  The 32 vector registers
occupy 128 bits each (512 bytes total), but architecturally are
paired with 512 additional bytes of reserved space for future
expansion.

The kvm_sync_regs structs containing the registers are union'ed
with 1024 bytes of padding in the common kvm_run struct.  The
addition of 1024 bytes of new register information clearly exceeds
the existing union, so an expansion of that padding is required.

When changing environments, we need to appropriately save and
restore the vector registers viewed by both the host and guest,
into and out of the sync_regs space.

The floating point registers overlay the upper half of vector
registers 0-15, so there's a bit of data duplication here that
needs to be carefully avoided.

trace-cmd fails to parse the instruction interception trace point:
  "Error: expected type 5 but read 4
   failed to read event print fmt for kvm_s390_intercept_instruction"
The result is an unformatted string in the output, with a warning:
  "kvm_s390_intercept_instruction: [FAILED TO PARSE]..."

So let's add parentheses around the instruction parser macro to fix the format
parsing.

Pull KVM update from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Fairly small update, but there are some interesting new features.

  Common:
     Optional support for adding a small amount of polling on each HLT
     instruction executed in the guest (or equivalent for other
     architectures).  This can improve latency up to 50% on some
     scenarios (e.g. O_DSYNC writes or TCP_RR netperf tests).  This
     also has to be enabled manually for now, but the plan is to
     auto-tune this in the future.

  ARM/ARM64:
     The highlights are support for GICv3 emulation and dirty page
     tracking

  s390:
     Several optimizations and bugfixes.  Also a first: a feature
     exposed by KVM (UUID and long guest name in /proc/sysinfo) before
     it is available in IBM's hypervisor! :)

  MIPS:
     Bugfixes.

  x86:
     Support for PML (page modification logging, a new feature in
     Broadwell Xeons that speeds up dirty page tracking), nested
     virtualization improvements (nested APICv---a nice optimization),
     usual round of emulation fixes.

     There is also a new option to reduce latency of the TSC deadline
     timer in the guest; this needs to be tuned manually.

     Some commits are common between this pull and Catalin's; I see you
     have already included his tree.

  Powerpc:
     Nothing yet.

     The KVM/PPC changes will come in through the PPC maintainers,
     because I haven't received them yet and I might end up being
     offline for some part of next week"

With this feature, you can read the CPU performance metrics provided by the
z/VM diagnose 0C. This then allows to get the management time for each
online CPU of the guest where the diagnose is executed.

The new debugfs file /sys/kernel/debug/s390_hypfs/diag_0c exports the
diag0C binary data to user space via an open/read/close interface.

The binary data consists out of a header structure followed by an
array that contains the diagnose 0c data for each online CPU.
