In case the initrd is located within the bss section it will be
overwritten when the section is cleared. To prevent this just move
the initrd right behind the bss section if it starts within the
section.
The current code already moves the initrd if the bootmem allocator
bitmap would overwrite it. With this patch we should be safe against
initrd corruptions.

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.

Most noteable part of this commit is the new local header file entry.h
which contains all the function declarations of functions that get only
called from asm code or are arch internal. That way we can avoid extern
declarations in C files.
This is more or less the same that was done for sparc64.

/sys/firmware/reipl/nss/name contains the nss name when defsys or
savesys command has been executed. If the defsys or savesys command
fails the kernel_nss_name has to be cleared since a reipl on that
nss name won't be possible.

Add a new interface so that cpus can be put into standby state and
configured state.
Only offline cpus can be put into standby state or configured state.
For that the new percpu sysfs attribute "configure" must be used.
To put a cpu in standby state a "0" must be written to the attribute.
In order to switch it into configured state a "1" must be written to
the attribute.
Only cpus in configured state can be brought online.
In addition this patch introduces a static mapping of physical to
logical cpus. As a result only the sysfs directories of present cpus
will be created. To scan for new cpus the new sysfs attribute "rescan"
must be used.
Writing to /sys/devices/system/cpu/rescan will trigger a rescan of
cpus and will create directories for new cpus.
On IPL only configured cpus will be used. And on reboot/shutdown all
cpus will remain in their current state (configured/standby).

Before we're getting short on memory detection fixes here is the next
one: if neither sclp nor diag260 report the storage size the detection
loop will return immediately without detecting anything. Fix this by
breaking the detection loop only if the memory end is known.

Yet another patch in the countless series of memory detection fixes:
if the last area of the reported storage size is a hole the detection
loop will loop forever.
Just break chunk detection loop if its end is going to be larger than
reported storage size.

diag 260 returns the address of the last addressable byte and not the
size of memory. Since we want the size we have to add 1 to the return
value.
Disable diag 260 for non z/Arch mode since it doesn't work there
anyway.

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.
