my gcc 5.1 used an ldgr instruction with a register != 0,2,4,6 for
spilling/filling into a floating point register in our decompressor.
This will cause an AFP-register data exception as the decompressor
did not setup the additional floating point registers via cr0.
That causes a program check loop that looked like a hang with
one "Uncompressing Linux... " message (directly booted via kvm)
or a loop of "Uncompressing Linux... " messages (when booted via
zipl boot loader).
The offending code in my build was
48e400: e3 c0 af ff ff 71 lay %r12,-1(%r10)
-->48e406: b3 c1 00 1c ldgr %f1,%r12
48e40a: ec 6c 01 22 02 7f clij %r6,2,12,0x48e64e
but gcc could do spilling into an fpr at any function. We can
simply disable floating point support at that early stage.

Rename a couple of files to get rid of the "64" suffix.
"git blame" will still work.

Remove the 31 bit support in order to reduce maintenance cost and
effectively remove dead code. Since a couple of years there is no
distribution left that comes with a 31 bit kernel.
The 31 bit kernel also has been broken since more than a year before
anybody noticed. In addition I added a removal warning to the kernel
shown at ipl for 5 minutes: a960062e58 ("s390: add 31 bit warning
message") which let everybody know about the plan to remove 31 bit
code. We didn't get any response.
Given that the last 31 bit only machine was introduced in 1999 let's
remove the code.
Anybody with 31 bit user space code can still use the compat mode.

Add -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks to CFLAGS for the code in
arch/s390/boot. Without the option a compressed kernel built with
gcc 4.9 won't boot.

The early kernel decrompressing code can't call into the kernel
in order to profile branches. Fixes this link error:
arch/s390/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `decompress_kernel':
misc.c:(.text+0x9a6): undefined reference to `ftrace_likely_update'

Add the "bzImage" compile target and the necessary code to generate
compressed kernel images. The old style uncompressed "image" target
is preserved, a simple make will build them both.
