This patch fixes a problem with the following scenario:
1. Linux booted from DASD "A"
2. Reboot from DASD "B" using "/sys/firmware/reipl/ccw/device"
3. Reboot DASD "B"
Without this patch in step 3 on newer s390 systems under LPAR instead of
DASD "B", DASD "A" will be booted. The reason is that in step 2 we use CCW
reipl and in step 3 we use DIAG308 (subcode 3) reipl. DIAG308 does not
notice the CCW reipl and still thinks that it has to reboot DASD "A".
Before applying this fix, ensure to have MCF RJ9967101E or z9 GA3 base driver
installed.Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu

In case of a kernel panic it is currently possible to specify that a dump
should be created, the system should be rebooted or stopped. Virtual sysfs
files under the directory /sys/firmware/ are used for that configuration.
In addition to that, there are kernel parameters 'vmhalt', 'vmpoff'
and 'vmpanic', which can be used to specify z/VM commands, which are
automatically executed in case of halt, power off or a kernel panic.
This patch combines both functionalities and allows to specify the z/VM CP
commands also via sysfs attributes. In addition to that, it enhances the
existing handling of shutdown triggers (e.g. halt or panic) and associated
shutdown actions (e.g. dump or reipl) and makes it more flexible.Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu

s390 machines provide hardware support for creating Linux dumps on SCSI
disks. For creating a dump a special purpose dump Linux is used. The first
32 MB of memory are saved by the hardware before the dump Linux is
booted. Via an SCLP interface, the saved memory can be accessed from
Linux. This patch exports memory and registers of the crashed Linux to
userspace via a debugfs file. For more information refer to
Documentation/s390/zfcpdump.txt, which is included in this patch.Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu

Clean interface between cio and ipl code, so Peter stops complaining.

We used wrong length values for ipl and dump hardware structures.
Since z/VM checks the ipl parameters more accurately than LPAR,
the operations fail there.Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu

Reipl doesn't work on older machines were s390_reset_machine() gets
called. The reason is that the text section is read-only but the
variable dump_prefix_page is there. Since s390_reset_machine() writes
to it we get a protection exception.
Therefore move dump_prefix_page to the bss section.Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens

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".Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu
