The IPL parameter block is used as an interface between Linux and
the machine to query and change the boot device and boot options.
To be able to create IPL parameter block in user space and pass it
as segment to kexec provide an uapi header with proper structure
definitions for the block.

The ipl_info union in struct ipl_parameter_block has the same name as
the struct ipl_info. This does not help while reading the code and the
union in struct ipl_parameter_block does not need to be named. Drop
the name from the union.

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.
