The only user of saved_max_pfn in s390 is read_oldmem interface but we
have removed that interface, so saved_max_pfn is now unneeded in s390, and
we needn't set it anymore.

Simplify the memory detection code a bit by removing the CHUNK_OLDMEM
and CHUNK_CRASHK memory types.
They are not needed. Everything that is needed is a mechanism to
insert holes into the detected memory.

<title>s390/mem_detect: limit memory detection loop to "mem=" parameter</title>

The current memory detection loop will detect all present memory of
a machine. This is true even if the user specified the "mem=" parameter
on the kernel command line.
This can be a problem since the memory detection may cause a fully
populated host page table for the guest, even for those parts of the
memory that the guest will never use afterwards.

So fix this and only detect memory up to a user supplied "mem=" limit
if specified.

<title>s390/kdump,bootmem: fix bootmem allocator bitmap size</title>

<content type='text'>
When in kdump mode the kernel may access only the first couple of
megabytes for execution, the rest contains the dump. However
the size of the bitmap used by the bootmem allocator was calculated
for the whole amount of memory of the machine.

For very large machines this can lead to the situation that the kdump
kernel will not come up because not enough memory is available.

So fix this and calculate the size of the bitmap only for the piece
of memory that the kdump kernel actually uses.

Call reserve_oldmem() before setup_memory_end() so that the memory_chunk
array already has been updated with respect to oldmem chunks.
Afterwards setup_memory_end() will ignore those chunks.

The variable real_memory_size has odd semantics and has been used in
a broken way by e.g. the old kvm code.
Therefore get rid of it before anybody else makes use of it.

Store the stack pointers in the lowcore for the kernel stack, the async
stack and the panic stack with the offset required for the first user.
This avoids an unnecessary add instruction on the system call path.

The size of the vmemmap must be a multiple of PAGES_PER_SECTION, since the
common code always initializes the vmemmap in such pieces.
So we must round up in order to not have a too small vmemmap.

Fixes an IPL crash on 31 bit with more than 1920MB.
