KVM: s390: interprocessor communication via sigp



This patch introduces in-kernel handling of _some_ sigp interprocessor
signals (similar to ipi).
kvm_s390_handle_sigp() decodes the sigp instruction and calls individual
handlers depending on the operation requested:
- sigp sense tries to retrieve information such as existence or running state
  of the remote cpu
- sigp emergency sends an external interrupt to the remove cpu
- sigp stop stops a remove cpu
- sigp stop store status stops a remote cpu, and stores its entire internal
  state to the cpus lowcore
- sigp set arch sets the architecture mode of the remote cpu. setting to
  ESAME (s390x 64bit) is accepted, setting to ESA/S390 (s390, 31 or 24 bit) is
  denied, all others are passed to userland
- sigp set prefix sets the prefix register of a remote cpu

For implementation of this, the stop intercept indication starts to get reused
on purpose: a set of action bits defines what to do once a cpu gets stopped:
ACTION_STOP_ON_STOP  really stops the cpu when a stop intercept is recognized
ACTION_STORE_ON_STOP stores the cpu status to lowcore when a stop intercept is
                     recognized
