Same as on x86 and sparc, besides the fact that enabling the option
will just emit compile time warnings instead of errors.
Keeps allyesconfig kernels compiling.

<title>[S390] Bogomips calculation for 64 bit.</title>

The bogomips calculation triggered via reading from /proc/cpuinfo
can return incorrect values if the qrnnd assembly is called with a
pointer in %r2 with any of the upper 32 bits set.
Fix this by using 64 bit division / remainder operation provided by
gcc instead of calling the assembly.

Allow s390 to properly override the generic
__div64_32() implementation by:

1) Using obj-y for div64.o in s390's makefile instead
   of lib-y

2) Adding the weak attribute to the generic implementation.

Preset the bogomips number to the cpu capacity value reported by
store system information in SYSIB 1.2.2. This value is constant
for a particular machine model and can be used to determine
relative performance differences between machines.

Use a wrapper for copy_to/from_user to chose the best usercopy method.
The mvcos instruction is better for sizes greater than 256 bytes, if
mvcos is not available a page table walk is better for sizes greater
than 1024 bytes. Also removed the redundant copy_to/from_user_std_small
functions.

<id>d9f7a745d55527d0d41684b22506a86c4381f7f1</id>
<content type='text'>
The clocksource infrastructure introduced with commit
ad596171ed635c51a9eef829187af100cbf8dcf7 broke 31 bit s390.
The reason is that the do_div() primitive for 31 bit always
had a restriction: it could only divide an unsigned 64 bit
integer by an unsigned 31 bit integer. The clocksource code
now uses do_div() with a base value that has the most
significant bit set. The result is that clock-&gt;cycle_interval
has a funny value which causes the linux time to jump around
like mad.
The solution is "obvious": implement a proper __div64_32
function for 31 bit s390.
