b5e804598d s390: allow overriding facilities via command line
Add "facilities=" command line option which allows to override
facility bits returned by stfle. The main purpose of that is debugging
aids which allows to test specific kernel behaviour depending on
specific facilities presence. It also affects CPU alternatives.

"facilities=" command line option format is comma separated list of
integer values to be additionally set or cleared (if value is starting
with "!"). Values ranges are also supported. e.g.:

facilities=!130-160,159,167-169

d58106c3ec s390/kasan: use noexec and large pages
To lower memory footprint and speed up kasan initialisation detect
EDAT availability and use large pages if possible. As we know how
much memory is needed for initialisation, another simplistic large
page allocator is introduced to avoid memory fragmentation.

Since facilities list is retrieved anyhow, detect noexec support and
adjust pages attributes. Handle noexec kernel option to avoid inconsistent
kasan shadow memory pages flags.

49698745e5 s390: move ipl block and cmd line handling to early boot phase
To distinguish zfcpdump case and to be able to parse some of the kernel
command line arguments early (e.g. mem=) ipl block retrieval and command
line construction code is moved to the early boot phase.

"memory_end" is set up correctly respecting "mem=" and hsa_size in case
of the zfcpdump.

arch/s390/boot/string.c is introduced to provide string handling and
command line parsing functions to early boot phase code for the compressed
kernel image case.
