2.6.31-rc introduced an architecture level set checker based on facility
bits. e.g. if the kernel is compiled to run only on z9, several facility
bits are checked very early and the kernel refuses to boot if a z9 specific
facility is missing.
Until now kvm on s390 did not implement the store facility extended (STFLE)
instruction. A 2.6.31-rc kernel that was compiled for z9 or higher did not
boot in kvm. This patch implements stfle.
This patch should go in before 2.6.31.

This patch reworks the s390 clock comparator wakeup to hrtimer. The clock
comparator is a per-cpu value that is compared against the TOD clock. If
ckc <= TOD an external interrupt 1004 is triggered. Since the clock comparator
and the TOD clock have a much higher resolution than jiffies we should use
hrtimers to trigger the wakeup. This speeds up guest nanosleep for small
values.
Since hrtimers callbacks run in hard-irq context, I added a tasklet to do
the actual work with enabled interrupts.

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.
