To save the registers for all CPUs a sigp "store status" is done that
stores the registers to address absolute zero. To access storage at
absolute zero, normally the address of the prefix register of the
accessing CPU has to be used. This does not work when large pages are
active (currently only under LPAR). In order to fix that problem,
instead of memcpy memcpy_real is used, which switches to real mode
where prefixing works.

Add an s390 specific probe_kernel_write() function which allows to
write to the kernel text segment even if write protection is enabled.
This is implemented using the lra (load real address) and stura (store
using real address) instructions.
