Remove the 31 bit support in order to reduce maintenance cost and
effectively remove dead code. Since a couple of years there is no
distribution left that comes with a 31 bit kernel.
The 31 bit kernel also has been broken since more than a year before
anybody noticed. In addition I added a removal warning to the kernel
shown at ipl for 5 minutes: a960062e58 ("s390: add 31 bit warning
message") which let everybody know about the plan to remove 31 bit
code. We didn't get any response.
Given that the last 31 bit only machine was introduced in 1999 let's
remove the code.
Anybody with 31 bit user space code can still use the compat mode.

Currently the diag10() function can only release one page. For exploiters
that have to call diag10 on a contiguous memory region this is suboptimal.
This patch replaces the diag10() function with diag10_range() that is
able to release multiple pages. In addition to that the new function now
allows to release memory with addresses higher than 2047 MiB. This was
due to a restriction of the diagnose implementation under z/VM prior to
release 5.2.

There are several s390 diagnose calls, which must be executed below the
2GB memory boundary. In order to enforce this, those diagnoses must be
compiled into the kernel. Currently diag 14 can be called within the
vmur kernel module from addresses above 2GB. This leads to specification
exceptions. This patch moves diag10, diag14 and diag210 into the new
diag.c file.
