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
support if available and software large page emulation on older hardware.
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
mode only console.

s390 machines provide hardware support for creating Linux dumps on SCSI
disks. For creating a dump a special purpose dump Linux is used. The first
32 MB of memory are saved by the hardware before the dump Linux is
booted. Via an SCLP interface, the saved memory can be accessed from
Linux. This patch exports memory and registers of the crashed Linux to
userspace via a debugfs file. For more information refer to
Documentation/s390/zfcpdump.txt, which is included in this patch.

This provides a noexec protection on s390 hardware. Our hardware does
not have any bits left in the pte for a hw noexec bit, so this is a
different approach using shadow page tables and a special addressing
mode that allows separate address spaces for code and data.
As a special feature of our "secondary-space" addressing mode, separate
page tables can be specified for the translation of data addresses
(storage operands) and instruction addresses. The shadow page table is
used for the instruction addresses and the standard page table for the
data addresses.
The shadow page table is linked to the standard page table by a pointer
in page->lru.next of the struct page corresponding to the page that
contains the standard page table (since page->private is not really
private with the pte_lock and the page table pages are not in the LRU
list).
Depending on the software bits of a pte, it is either inserted into
both page tables or just into the standard (data) page table. Pages of
a vma that does not have the VM_EXEC bit set get mapped only in the
data address space. Any try to execute code on such a page will cause a
page translation exception. The standard reaction to this is a SIGSEGV
with two exceptions: the two system call opcodes 0x0a77 (sys_sigreturn)
and 0x0aad (sys_rt_sigreturn) are allowed. They are stored by the
kernel to the signal stack frame. Unfortunately, the signal return
mechanism cannot be modified to use an SA_RESTORER because the
exception unwinding code depends on the system call opcode stored
behind the signal stack frame.
This feature requires that user space is executed in secondary-space
mode and the kernel in home-space mode, which means that the addressing
modes need to be switched and that the noexec protection only works
for user space.
After switching the addressing modes, we cannot use the mvcp/mvcs
instructions anymore to copy between kernel and user space. A new
mvcos instruction has been added to the z9 EC/BC hardware which allows
to copy between arbitrary address spaces, but on older hardware the
page tables need to be walked manually.

Make the contents of the userspace asm/setup.h header consistent on all
architectures:
- export setup.h to userspace on all architectures
- export only COMMAND_LINE_SIZE to userspace
- frv: move COMMAND_LINE_SIZE from param.h
- i386: remove duplicate COMMAND_LINE_SIZE from param.h
- arm:
- export ATAGs to userspace
- change u8/u16/u32 to __u8/__u16/__u32

It is now possible to specify a ccw/fcp dump device which is used to
automatically create a system dump in case of a kernel panic. The dump
device can be configured under /sys/firmware/dump.
In addition it is now possible to specify a ccw/fcp device which is used
for the next reboot of Linux. The reipl device can be configured under
/sys/firmware/reipl.

Move initrd if the bitmap of the bootmem allocator would overwrite it.
In addition this patch sets the default size and address of the initrd to 0.
Therefore all boot loaders must set the initrd size and address correctly.
This is especially relevant for ftp boot via HMC/SE, where this change
requires a special patch file entry in the .ins file which sets these two
values contained at address 0x10408 and 0x10410.

Sysfs interface to export ipl device parameters. Dependent on the ipl type
the interface will look like this:
- ccw ipl:
/sys/firmware/ipl/device
/ipl_type
- fcp ipl:
/sys/firmware/ipl/binary_parameter
/bootprog
/br_lba
/device
/ipl_type
/lun
/scp_data
/wwpn
- otherwise (unknown that is):
/sys/firmware/ipl/ipl_type

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
