Starting with version 4.9, GCC assumes it can't safely dereference null
pointers, and uses this for some optimizations. On s390, the lowcore
memory is located at address 0, so this assumption is wrong and breaks
the s390-ccw firmware. Pass -fdelete-null-pointer-checks to avoid that.

The current bios sits at location 0x7e00000 in the guest RAM
and thus prevents loading of bigger ramdisks. By making the
image relocatable we can move it to the end of the RAM so that
it is getting out of the way.

s390-ccw.img as output

This patch adds a makefile, so we can build our ccw firmware. Also
add the resulting binaries to .gitignore, so that nobody is annoyed
they might be in the tree.
