Correct typo to make hypfs work on systems that support only diag204
subcode 4 and fix error handling in hypfs_diag_init.

Major cleanup of all s390 inline assemblies. They now have a common
coding style. Quite a few have been shortened, mainly by using register
asm variables. Use of the EX_TABLE macro helps as well. The atomic ops,
bit ops and locking inlines new use the Q-constraint if a newer gcc
is used. That results in slightly better code.
Thanks to Christian Borntraeger for proof reading the changes.

sparse complains, if we use bitwise operations on enums. Cast enum to
long in order to fix that problem!

On zSeries machines there exists an interface which allows the operating
system to retrieve LPAR hypervisor accounting data. For example, it is
possible to get usage data for physical and virtual cpus. In order to
provide this information to user space programs, I implemented a new
virtual Linux file system named 's390_hypfs' using the Linux 2.6 libfs
framework. The name 's390_hypfs' stands for 'S390 Hypervisor Filesystem'.
All the accounting information is put into different virtual files which
can be accessed from user space. All data is represented as ASCII strings.
When the file system is mounted the accounting information is retrieved and
a file system tree is created with the attribute files containing the cpu
information. The content of the files remains unchanged until a new update
is made. An update can be triggered from user space through writing
'something' into a special purpose update file.
We create the following directory structure:
<mount-point>/
update
cpus/
<cpu-id>
type
mgmtime
<cpu-id>
...
hyp/
type
systems/
<lpar-name>
cpus/
<cpu-id>
type
mgmtime
cputime
onlinetime
<cpu-id>
...
<lpar-name>
cpus/
...
- update: File to trigger update
- cpus/: Directory for all physical cpus
- cpus/<cpu-id>/: Directory for one physical cpu.
- cpus/<cpu-id>/type: Type name of physical zSeries cpu.
- cpus/<cpu-id>/mgmtime: Physical-LPAR-management time in microseconds.
- hyp/: Directory for hypervisor information
- hyp/type: Typ of hypervisor (currently only 'LPAR Hypervisor')
- systems/: Directory for all LPARs
- systems/<lpar-name>/: Directory for one LPAR.
- systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/: Directory for the virtual cpus
- systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/type: Typ of cpu.
- systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/mgmtime:
Accumulated number of microseconds during which a physical
CPU was assigned to the logical cpu and the cpu time was
consumed by the hypervisor and was not provided to
the LPAR (LPAR overhead).
- systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/cputime:
Accumulated number of microseconds during which a physical CPU
was assigned to the logical cpu and the cpu time was consumed
by the LPAR.
- systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/onlinetime:
Accumulated number of microseconds during which the logical CPU
has been online.
As mount point for the filesystem /sys/hypervisor/s390 is created.
The update process is triggered when writing 'something' into the
'update' file at the top level hypfs directory. You can do this e.g.
with 'echo 1 > update'. During the update the whole directory structure
is deleted and built up again.
