<content type='text'>
Rework alternatives to allow for callbacks. With this every
alternative entry has additional data encoded:

- When (aka context) an alternative is supposed to be applied

- The type of an alternative, which allows for type specific handling
  and callbacks

- Extra type specific payload (patch information), which can be passed
  to callbacks in order to decide if an alternative should be applied
  or not

With this only the "late" context is implemented, which means there is
no change to the previous behaviour. All code is just converted to the
more generic new infrastructure.

<title>s390/expoline: Make modules use kernel expolines</title>

Currently, kernel modules contain their own set of expoline thunks. In
the case of EXPOLINE_EXTERN, this involves postlinking of precompiled
expoline.o. expoline.o is also necessary for out-of-source tree module
builds.

Now that the kernel modules area is less than 4 GB away from
kernel expoline thunks, make modules use kernel expolines. Also make
EXPOLINE_EXTERN the default if the compiler supports it. This simplifies
build and aligns with the approach adopted by other architectures.

<title>s390/checksum: provide csum_partial_copy_nocheck()</title>

<content type='text'>
With csum_partial(), which reads all bytes into registers it is easy to
also implement csum_partial_copy_nocheck() which copies the buffer while
calculating its checksum.

For a 512 byte buffer this reduces the runtime by 19%. Compared to the old
generic variant (memcpy() + cksm instruction) runtime is reduced by 42%).

<title>s390/nmi: implement and use local_mcck_save() / local_mcck_restore()</title>

Instead of using local_mcck_disable() / local_mcck_enable() implement and
use local_mcck_save() / local_mcck_restore() to disable machine checks, and
restoring the previous state.

The problem with using local_mcck_disable() / local_mcck_enable() is that
there is an assumption that machine checks are always enabled. While this
is currently the case the code still looks quite odd, readers need to
double check if the code is correct.

In order to increase readability save and then restore the old machine
check mask bit, instead of assuming that it must have been enabled.

Add local and system prefix to some functions to clarify they change
control register contents on either the local CPU or the on all CPUs.

This results in the following API:

Two defines which load and save multiple control registers.
The defines correlate with the following C prototypes:

void __local_ctl_load(unsigned long *, unsigned int cr_low, unsigned int cr_high);
void __local_ctl_store(unsigned long *, unsigned int cr_low, unsigned int cr_high);

Two functions which locally set or clear one bit for a specified
control register:

void local_ctl_set_bit(unsigned int cr, unsigned int bit);
void local_ctl_clear_bit(unsigned int cr, unsigned int bit);

Two functions which set or clear one bit for a specified control
register on all CPUs:

void system_ctl_set_bit(unsigned int cr, unsigned int bit);
void system_ctl_clear_bit(unsigend int cr, unsigned int bit);
