Cornelia Huck 9d92a7e1b0 [S390] cio: Add chsc subchannel driver.
This patch adds a driver for subchannels of type chsc.

A device /dev/chsc is created which may be used to issue ioctls to:
- obtain information about the machine's I/O configuration
- dynamically change the machine's I/O configuration via
  asynchronous chsc commands

Peter Oberparleiter 83b3370c79 [S390] cio: replace subchannel evaluation queue with bitmap
Use a bitmap for indicating which subchannels require evaluation
instead of allocating memory for each evaluation request. This
approach reduces memory consumption during recovery in case of
massive evaluation request occurrence and removes the need for
memory allocation failure handling.
