ff6b8ea68f [S390] ipl/dump on panic.
It is now possible to specify a ccw/fcp dump device which is used to
automatically create a system dump in case of a kernel panic. The dump
device can be configured under /sys/firmware/dump.
In addition it is now possible to specify a ccw/fcp device which is used
for the next reboot of Linux. The reipl device can be configured under
/sys/firmware/reipl.

65912a84c0 [S390] initrd vs. bootmem bitmap.
Move initrd if the bitmap of the bootmem allocator would overwrite it.
In addition this patch sets the default size and address of the initrd to 0.
Therefore all boot loaders must set the initrd size and address correctly.
This is especially relevant for ftp boot via HMC/SE, where this change
requires a special patch file entry in the .ins file which sets these two
values contained at address 0x10408 and 0x10410.

0defa3c19e [PATCH] s390: add #ifdef __KERNEL__ to asm-s390/setup.h
Based on a patch from Maximilian Attems <maks@sternwelten.at> .  Nothing in
asm-s390/setup.h is of interest for user space.

1e8e338325 [PATCH] s390: export ipl device parameters
Sysfs interface to export ipl device parameters.  Dependent on the ipl type
the interface will look like this:

- ccw ipl:

/sys/firmware/ipl/device
		 /ipl_type

- fcp ipl:

/sys/firmware/ipl/binary_parameter
		 /bootprog
		 /br_lba
		 /device
		 /ipl_type
		 /lun
		 /scp_data
		 /wwpn

- otherwise (unknown that is):

/sys/firmware/ipl/ipl_type

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
