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

With the kernel parameter 'vmalloc=<size>' the size of the vmalloc area
can be specified. This can be used to increase or decrease the size of
the area. Works in the same way as on some other architectures.
This can be useful for features which make excessive use of vmalloc and
wouldn't work otherwise.
The default sizes remain unchanged: 96MB for 31 bit kernels and 1GB for
64 bit kernels.

This adds a mini sclp device driver for very early use. The primary
and probably only use will be to emit a message to the console if the
cpu doesn't provide the minimum required capabilities to run the kernel.
After printing the message a disabled wait will be loaded and the
machine stops operating.
Printing the message is also part of this patch.

On a system where system memory (according e820) is not covered by
mtrr, mtrr_trim_memory converts a portion of memory to reserved, but
bootloader has already put the initrd in that range.
Thus, we need to have 64bit to use relocate_initrd too.

This provides a reliable way for asm-generic/types.h and other
files to find out if it is running on a 32 or 64 bit platform.
We cannot use CONFIG_64BIT for this in headers that are included
from user space because CONFIG symbols are not available there.
We also cannot do it inside of asm/types.h because some headers
need the word size but cannot include types.h.
The solution is to introduce a new header <asm/bitsperlong.h>
that defines both __BITS_PER_LONG for user space and
BITS_PER_LONG for usage in the kernel. The asm-generic
version falls back to 32 bit unless the architecture overrides
it, which I did for all 64 bit platforms.

Ftrace on sh handles nop'ing out trace function calls differently than
other architectures. Instead of inserting NOP instructions in place of
the call to the function tracer we branch over the call instructions
and continue executing the main body of the function.
This patch fixes a bug in the implementation of ftrace_modify_code()
where we check that the old value of the code we're about to replace
is an expected one. In the ftrace_make_call() code path
ftrace_modify_code() was comparing the old instruction value with NOP
instructions. The compare was failing because we never actually insert
NOP instructions. It makes sense to just get rid of the NOP
instructions in ftrace_nop and compare the old code with the address
of the function body if we're expecting ftrace to have nop'd out the
function trace call.
