<content type='text'>
The size detection for 3270 terminals with the read-partition command is
broken. The raw3270_reset_device_cb function clears the init_data array,
but if raw3270_writesf_readpart has been called the read-partition command
is queued which needs the init_data array. In this case the size detection
will fail and the invalid command does funny things to the terminal.

<title>s390/sclp_vt220: Enable ASCII console per default</title>

<id>f2485f5d1c62bb8cccd452616892cdaf2466a090</id>
<content type='text'>
When you want to use the HMC's ASCII console as console device for
a z/VM guest you have to specify console=ttyS1 on the kernel command
line. But it won't work until you specify conmode=sclp as well.

This behavior is inconsistent with the use of the ASCII console as
TTY device which works on z/VM without the need to specify a conmode.

Fix this inconsistency by removing the check for conmode=sclp in the
ASCII console registration function.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "At over 200 commits, covering almost all supported architectures, this
  was a pretty active cycle for KVM.  Changes include:

   - a lot of s390 changes: optimizations, support for migration, GDB
     support and more

   - ARM changes are pretty small: support for the PSCI 0.2 hypercall
     interface on both the guest and the host (the latter acked by
     Catalin)

   - initial POWER8 and little-endian host support

   - support for running u-boot on embedded POWER targets

   - pretty large changes to MIPS too, completing the userspace
     interface and improving the handling of virtualized timer hardware

   - for x86, a larger set of changes is scheduled for 3.17.  Still, we
     have a few emulator bugfixes and support for running nested
     fully-virtualized Xen guests (para-virtualized Xen guests have
     always worked).  And some optimizations too.

  The only missing architecture here is ia64.  It's not a coincidence
  that support for KVM on ia64 is scheduled for removal in 3.17"

Currently there are two s390 kernel dump config options "CONFIG_ZFCPDUMP"

cover the needs of the s390 kdump implementation the physical memory
