Use the SPP instruction to set a tag on entry to / exit of the virtual
machine context. This allows the cpu measurement facility to distinguish
the samples from the host and the different guests.

Use asm offsets to make sure the offset defines to struct _lowcore and
its layout don't get out of sync.
Also add a BUILD_BUG_ON() which checks that the size of the structure
is sane.
And while being at it change those sites which use odd casts to access
the current lowcore. These should use S390_lowcore instead.

Introduce the MACHINE_IS_LPAR flag for code that should only be
executed if Linux is running in an LPAR.

Introduce user_mode to replace the two variables switch_amode and
s390_noexec. There are three valid combinations of the old values:
1) switch_amode == 0 && s390_noexec == 0
2) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 0
3) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 1
They get replaced by
1) user_mode == HOME_SPACE_MODE
2) user_mode == PRIMARY_SPACE_MODE
3) user_mode == SECONDARY_SPACE_MODE
The new kernel parameter user_mode=[primary,secondary,home] lets
you choose the address space mode the user space processes should
use. In addition the CONFIG_S390_SWITCH_AMODE config option
is removed.

Append scpdata to the kernel boot command line. If scpdata starts
with the equal sign (=), the kernel boot command line is replaced.
(For consistency with zIPL and IPL PARM parameters.)
To use scpdata for the kernel boot command line, scpdata must consist
of ascii characters only. If scpdata contains other characters,
scpdata is not appended to the kernel boot command line.
In addition, re-IPL is extended for setting scpdata for the next
Linux reboot.

Currently the storage of the machine flags is a globally exported unsigned
long long variable. By moving the storage location into the lowcore struct we
allow assembler code to check machine_flags directly even without needing a
register. Addtionally the lowcore and therefore the machine flags too will be
in cache most of the time.

Standby memory detected with the sclp interface gets always registered
with add_memory calls without considering the limitationt that the
"mem=" kernel paramater implies.
So fix this and only register standby memory that is below the specified
limit.
This fixes zfcpdump since it uses "mem=32M". In case there is appr.
2GB standby memory present all of usable memory would be used for the
struct pages needed for standby memory.
