411ed32257 [S390] zfcpdump support.
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.

e5854a5839 [S390] cio: Channel-path configure function.
Add a new attribute to the channel-path sysfs directory through which
channel-path configure operations can be triggered. Also listen for
hardware events requesting channel-path configure operations and
process them accordingly.

ab14de6c37 [S390] Convert memory detection into C code.
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.
