27dc0700c3 s390/uv: Fix handling of length extensions
The query parameter block might contain additional information and can
be extended in the future. If the size of the block does not suffice we
get an error code of rc=0x100.  The buffer will contain all information
up to the specified size and the hypervisor/guest simply do not need the
additional information as they do not know about the new data.  That
means that we can (and must) accept rc=0x100 as success.

5abb9351df s390/uv: introduce guest side ultravisor code
The Ultravisor Call Facility (stfle bit 158) defines an API to the
Ultravisor (UV calls), a mini hypervisor located at machine
level. With help of the Ultravisor, KVM will be able to run
"protected" VMs, special VMs whose memory and management data are
unavailable to KVM.

The protected VMs can also request services from the Ultravisor.
The guest api consists of UV calls to share and unshare memory with the
kvm hypervisor.

To enable this feature support PROTECTED_VIRTUALIZATION_GUEST kconfig
option has been introduced.
