Steffen Eiden 8058921f58 Reorganize boot-loader header files
include/boot/s390.h relies on s390 specific kernel headers. However,
some tools used this header for non-s390 code (outside of boot-loaders).
To solve this the PSW and PAGE_SIZE definitions are now in separate
header files. All includes for s390.h which are not in boot-loader code
are replaced with one of psw.h or page.h.

This fixes the compilation failure on ppc64le due to conflicting types
for `__vector128`.

Marc Hartmayer 65b9fc442c genprotimg: introduce new tool for the creation of PV images
Protected VMs (PVM) are KVM VMs, where KVM can't access the VM's state
like guest memory and guest registers anymore. Instead the PVMs are
mostly managed by a new entity called Ultravisor (UV), which provides
an API, so KVM and the PV can request management actions.

PVMs are encrypted at rest and protected from hypervisor access while
running. They switch from a normal operation into protected mode, so
we can still use the standard boot process to load an encrypted image
and then move it into protected mode.

This commit adds the tool 'genprotimg'. It takes a kernel, key files,
optionally an initrd, optionally a file with the kernel command line,
and it generates a single, loadable image file. The image consists of
a concatenation of a plain text boot loader, the encrypted components
for kernel, initrd, and cmdline, and the integrity-protected PV
header, containing metadata necessary for running the guest in PV
mode.

It's possible to use this image file as a kernel for zipl or for a
direct kernel boot using QEMU.
