Currently, when the physical resume CPU is not equal to the physical suspend
CPU, we swap the CPUs logically, by modifying the logical/physical CPU mapping.
This has two major drawbacks: First the change is visible from user space (e.g.
CPU sysfs files) and second it is hard to ensure that nowhere in the kernel
the physical CPU ID is stored before suspend.
To fix this, we now really swap the physical CPUs, if the resume CPU is not
the pysical suspend CPU. We restart the suspend CPU and stop the resume CPU
using SIGP restart and SIGP stop. If the suspend CPU is no longer available,
we write a message and load a disabled wait PSW.

pfn_is_nosave doesn't return the correct value for the second lowcore
page if lowcore protection is enabled. Make sure it always returns
the correct value.
While at it simplify the whole thing.
NSS special handling is done by the tprot check like it already works
for DCSS as well. So remove the extra code for NSS.

Removes a couple of simple code duplications. But before I have to do
this again, just simplify it.

Merge cpuid.h header file into cpu.h.
While at it convert from typedef to struct declaration and also
convert cio code to use proper lowcore structure instead of casts.

Currently the storage of the machine flags is a globally exported unsigned
long long variable. By moving the storage location into the lowcore struct we
allow assembler code to check machine_flags directly even without needing a
register. Addtionally the lowcore and therefore the machine flags too will be
in cache most of the time.

The lowcore.h header has quite a lot of whitespace damage and a rather
wild collection of entries. Remove all that whitespace and tidy up the
order of the lowcore fields.

This patch fixes two addresses in the comments for the
lowcore structure. Looks like an copy-paste bug.

The vdso_per_cpu_data entry in the lowcore structure uses __u32
instead of __u64. If the data page is above 4GB the pointer is
truncated and the kernel crashes.

The extract cpu time instruction (ectg) instruction allows the user
process to get the current thread cputime without calling into the
kernel. The code that uses the instruction needs to switch to the
access registers mode to get access to the per-cpu info page that
contains the two base values that are needed to calculate the current
cputime from the CPU timer with the ectg instruction.

The unit of the cputime accouting values that are stored per process is
currently a microsecond. The CPU timer has a maximum granularity of
2**-12 microseconds. There is no benefit in storing the per process values
in the lesser precision and there is the disadvantage that the backend
has to do the rounding to microseconds. The better solution is to use
the maximum granularity of the CPU timer as cputime unit.
