This patch implements kvm guest kernel support for paravirtualized devices
and contains two parts:
o a basic virtio stub using virtio_ring and external interrupts and hypercalls
o full hypercall implementation in kvm_para.h
Currently we dont have PCI on s390. Making virtio_pci usable for s390 seems
more complicated that providing an own stub. This virtio stub is similar to
the lguest one, the memory for the descriptors and the device detection is made
via additional mapped memory on top of the guest storage. We use an external
interrupt with extint code 0x2603 for host->guest notification.
The hypercall definition uses the diag instruction for issuing a hypercall. The
parameters are written in R2-R7, the hypercall number is written in R1. This is
similar to the system call ABI (svc) which can use R1 for the number and R2-R6
for the parameters.

This patch contains the port of Qumranet's kvm kernel module to IBM zSeries
(aka s390x, mainframe) architecture. It uses the mainframe's virtualization
instruction SIE to run virtual machines with up to 64 virtual CPUs each.
This port is only usable on 64bit host kernels, and can only run 64bit guest
kernels. However, running 31bit applications in guest userspace is possible.
The following source files are introduced by this patch
arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.c similar to arch/x86/kvm/x86.c, this implements all
arch callbacks for kvm. __vcpu_run calls back into
sie64a to enter the guest machine context
arch/s390/kvm/sie64a.S assembler function sie64a, which enters guest
context via SIE, and switches world before and after that
include/asm-s390/kvm_host.h contains all vital data structures needed to run
virtual machines on the mainframe
include/asm-s390/kvm.h defines kvm_regs and friends for user access to
guest register content
arch/s390/kvm/gaccess.h functions similar to uaccess to access guest memory
arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.h header file for kvm-s390 internals, extended by
later patches
