If memory is fragmented it is unlikely that large order memory
allocations succeed. This has been an issue with the vmcp device
driver since a long time, since it requires large physical contiguous
memory ares for large responses.
To hopefully resolve this issue make use of the contiguous memory
allocator (cma). This patch adds a vmcp specific vmcp cma area with a
default size of 4MB. The size can be changed either via the
VMCP_CMA_SIZE config option at compile time or with the "vmcp_cma"
kernel parameter (e.g. "vmcp_cma=16m").
For any vmcp response buffers larger than 16k memory from the cma area
will be allocated. If such an allocation fails, there is a fallback to
the buddy allocator.

Provide a user space interface and an enhancement to the sclp device driver
which allows to send an 'Open for Business' event from the operating system
to the Support Element. The 'Open for Business' event is used to signal the
Support Element that the operating system (or an application running on top
of it) is up and running.

Since commit c05ffc4f2b ("[S390] sclp: sysfs interface for
SCLP cpi"), which was made 2008 the user can specify a system
and sysplex name through the /sys/firmware/cpi interface. In
addition to sysplex and system name, the user can also override
the system type and system version.
Because the syfs interface is easier to use and allows the
settings to be updated, the sclp_cpi module becomes obsolete
and can be removed.

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.

The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This
saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway.
bloat-o-meter output is below.
The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on
TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY
layer. Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate
symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than
"depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies.
bloat-o-meter output comparing our previous minimal to new minimal by
removing TTY. The list is filtered to not show removed entries with awk
'$3 != "-"' as the list was very long.

Remove the tape block device driver. It's not of real use but has
already created some confusion when users wanted to access tape devices
and used the block device nodes instead of the character device nodes.
Also remove the whole tape documentation since it's completely outdated
and we have the device drivers book which is the place where everything
is properly documented.
