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

<content type='text'>
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: a960062e5826 ("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.

_sclp_print_early() has return value: at present, return 0 for OK, 1 for
failure. It returns '%r2', so use 'long' as return value (upper caller
can check '%r2' directly). The related warning:

    CC      arch/s390/boot/compressed/misc.o
  arch/s390/boot/compressed/misc.c:66:8: warning: type defaults to 'int' in declaration of '_sclp_print_early' [-Wimplicit-int]
   extern _sclp_print_early(const char *);
          ^

At present, _sclp_print_early() is only used by puts(), so can still
remain its declaration in 'misc.c' file.

<title>s390: fix linker script for 31 bit builds</title>

<id>c985cb37f1b39c2c8035af741a2a0b79f1fbaca7</id>
<content type='text'>
Because of a change in the s390 arch backend of binutils (commit 23ecd77
"Pick the default arch depending on the target size" in binutils repo)
31 bit builds will fail since the linker would now try to create 64 bit
binary output.
Fix this by setting OUTPUT_ARCH to s390:31-bit instead of s390.
Thanks to Andreas Krebbel for figuring out the issue.

Fixes this build error:

  LD      init/built-in.o
s390x-4.7.2-ld: s390:31-bit architecture of input file
 `arch/s390/kernel/head.o' is incompatible with s390:64-bit output

<title>s390/string: provide asm lib functions for memcpy and memcmp</title>

Our memcpy and memcmp variants were implemented by calling the corresponding
gcc builtin variants.
However gcc is free to replace a call to __builtin_memcmp with a call to memcmp
which, when called, will result in an endless recursion within memcmp.
So let's provide asm variants and also fix the variants that are used for
uncompressing the kernel image.
In addition remove all other occurences of builtin function calls.
