Michael Holzheu 46b05d2617 [S390] New header file ipl.h
Setup.h has been misused for ipl related stuff in the past. We now move
everything, which has to do with ipl and reipl to a new header file named
"ipl.h".

Heiko Carstens 162e006ef5 [S390] Mark kernel text section read-only.
Set read-only flag in the page table entries for the kernel image text
section. This will catch all instruction caused corruptions withing the
text section.
Instruction replacement via kprobes still works, since it bypasses now
dynamic address translation.

Heiko Carstens ab14de6c37 [S390] Convert memory detection into C code.
Hopefully this will make it more maintainable and less error prone.
Code makes use of search_exception_tables(). Since it calls this
function before the kernel exeception table is sorted, there is an
early call to sort_main_extable().

This way it's easy to use the already present infrastructure of fixup
sections. Also this would allows to easily convert the rest of
head[31|64].S into C code.
