KVM: s390: intercepts for diagnose instructions

Browse Source 
This patch introduces interpretation of some diagnose instruction intercepts.
Diagnose is our classic architected way of doing a hypercall. This patch
features the following diagnose codes:
- vm storage size, that tells the guest about its memory layout
- time slice end, which is used by the guest to indicate that it waits
  for a lock and thus cannot use up its time slice in a useful way
- ipl functions, which a guest can use to reset and reboot itself

In order to implement ipl functions, we also introduce an exit reason that
causes userspace to perform various resets on the virtual machine. All resets
are described in the principles of operation book, except KVM_S390_RESET_IPL
which causes a reboot of the machine.
