Most noteable part of this commit is the new local header file entry.h
which contains all the function declarations of functions that get only
called from asm code or are arch internal. That way we can avoid extern
declarations in C files.
This is more or less the same that was done for sparc64.

/sys/firmware/reipl/nss/name contains the nss name when defsys or
savesys command has been executed. If the defsys or savesys command
fails the kernel_nss_name has to be cleared since a reipl on that
nss name won't be possible.

It caused only a lot of confusion. From now on cpu hotplug of up to
NR_CPUS will work by default. If somebody wants to limit that then
the possible_cpus parameter can be used.

Add a new interface so that cpus can be put into standby state and
configured state.
Only offline cpus can be put into standby state or configured state.
For that the new percpu sysfs attribute "configure" must be used.
To put a cpu in standby state a "0" must be written to the attribute.
In order to switch it into configured state a "1" must be written to
the attribute.
Only cpus in configured state can be brought online.
In addition this patch introduces a static mapping of physical to
logical cpus. As a result only the sysfs directories of present cpus
will be created. To scan for new cpus the new sysfs attribute "rescan"
must be used.
Writing to /sys/devices/system/cpu/rescan will trigger a rescan of
cpus and will create directories for new cpus.
On IPL only configured cpus will be used. And on reboot/shutdown all
cpus will remain in their current state (configured/standby).

Before we're getting short on memory detection fixes here is the next
one: if neither sclp nor diag260 report the storage size the detection
loop will return immediately without detecting anything. Fix this by
breaking the detection loop only if the memory end is known.

Yet another patch in the countless series of memory detection fixes:
if the last area of the reported storage size is a hole the detection
loop will loop forever.
Just break chunk detection loop if its end is going to be larger than
reported storage size.

Check if a command is available before executing. Saves some
superfluous service calls that won't succeed anyway.

Introduce some new interfaces so that random subsystems don't have to

If both sclp and diag memory detection don't work stop at the first
memory hole. Otherwise the code might loop forever...

diag 260 returns the address of the last addressable byte and not the
size of memory. Since we want the size we have to add 1 to the return
value.
Disable diag 260 for non z/Arch mode since it doesn't work there
anyway.

Clear only memory from __bss_start to __bss_stop when clearing the bss
section. Not until _end, which currently happens to be the same.

Setup.h has been misused for ipl related stuff in the past. We now move
everything, which has to do with ipl and reipl to a new header file named
"ipl.h".

Set read-only flag in the page table entries for the kernel image text
section. This will catch all instruction caused corruptions withing the
text section.
Instruction replacement via kprobes still works, since it bypasses now
dynamic address translation.

Hopefully this will make it more maintainable and less error prone.
Code makes use of search_exception_tables(). Since it calls this
function before the kernel exeception table is sorted, there is an
early call to sort_main_extable().
This way it's easy to use the already present infrastructure of fixup
sections. Also this would allows to easily convert the rest of
head[31|64].S into C code.
