Add kernel module phmac_s390 to the initramfs hook and dracut config file
to ensure that the PHMAC cipher is available during early boot, in case
the root disk is integrity protected via PHMAC.
Also load phmac_s390 via modules-load.d to ensure that the PHMAC ciphers
are available.

Performance measurements turned out that in certain situations the
paging/swap logic turns on the rotational feature for block devices. In the
past, this feature has been disabled for DASD devices. FCP and NVMe devices
are considered non-rotational by default (or exposed by the storage server).
Because those are the backing devices on Linux on Z/LinuxONE instances,
ensure that virtio-blk devices are always non-rotational.

The cpictl utility sends control-program identification data
from protected virtualization guests to hosts by default.
This behaviour leaks the below potentially sensitive
information to untrusted hosts.
- system_type
- system_level
- sysplex_name
- system_name
To prevent this behaviour, enhance the cpictl utility to stop
setting CPI information on protected virtualization guests by
default. If the user chooses to set the CPI information, it
could be set by one of the below options
- use the command line option --permit-cpi
- set the environment variable CPI_PERMIT_ON_PVGUEST to 1 to
control the CPI service behaviour during boot

On s390 architecture a newly hotplugged CPU, should only stay offline if
it is on deconfigured state, otherwise it should automatically become
online. Introduce a new udev rule to enforce this behavior. This rule
should always be installed.

Modern distributions use systemd and a corresponding systemd unit file
is provided that handles the dumpconf tool. The tool is also the last

For cpacfstatsd, cpuplugd, and mon_statd there are still SysV daemon
scripts available. However, modern distributions use systemd and
corresponding systemd unit files are provided and in use for a long time
already.
Remove the daemon scripts for the obsolete SysV init system as they're
not used by modern systems anymore.

Performance evaluation showed that using the mq-deadline scheduler for DASD

Modern distributions do not provide the symlink /sbin/udevadm any more.
Use /usr/bin/udevadm instead for the example init script / systemd units.
Note that those are meant for example purpose and would need to be adjusted
by distributions, so no extra effort is taken to determine the actual
location of udevadm.

The udev rule for SCSI devices is still using the WAIT_FOR keyword,
which was used to make sure that a file does in fact exist before any
rule is applied. That keyword, however, was removed with systemd-220 and
is therefore no longer valid, which in turn leads to errors on newer
systems.
Use the TEST keyword instead to check the existence of a file before we
apply any rules.

Add a new udev rule that is triggered when a KVM VM is started
on the system the very first time. This rule reports over the
sysfs CPI kernel interface that the system is a KVM host.
Currently the cpi.service systemd unit already works with
the CPI sysfs interface. Introduce a new internal utility
script "cpictl" that is used by both the udev rule and
the systemd unit to guarantee coordinated access to the
kernel CPU interface.
