Let's not provide the device attribute for cmma enabling and clearing
if the hardware doesn't support it.
This also helps getting rid of the undocumented return value "-EINVAL"
in case CMMA is not available when trying to enable it.
Also properly document the meaning of -EINVAL for CMMA clearing.

We have certain instructions that indicate available subfunctions via
a query subfunction (crypto functions and ptff), or via a test bit
function (plo).
By exposing these "subfunction blocks" to user space, we allow user space
to
1) query available subfunctions and make sure subfunctions won't get lost
during migration - e.g. properly indicate them via a CPU model
2) change the subfunctions to be reported to the guest (even adding
unavailable ones)
This mechanism works just like the way we indicate the stfl(e) list to
user space.
This way, user space could even emulate some subfunctions in QEMU in the
future. If this is ever applicable, we have to make sure later on, that
unsupported subfunctions result in an intercept to QEMU.
Please note that support to indicate them to the guest is still missing
and requires hardware support. Usually, the IBC takes already care of these
subfunctions for migration safety. QEMU should make sure to always set
these bits properly according to the machine generation to be emulated.
Available subfunctions are only valid in combination with STFLE bits
retrieved via KVM_S390_VM_CPU_MACHINE and enabled via
KVM_S390_VM_CPU_PROCESSOR. If the applicable bits are available, the
indicated subfunctions are guaranteed to be correct.

For now, we only have an interface to query and configure facilities
indicated via STFL(E). However, we also have features indicated via
SCLP, that have to be indicated to the guest by user space and usually
require KVM support.
This patch allows user space to query and configure available cpu features
for the guest.
Please note that disabling a feature doesn't necessarily mean that it is
completely disabled (e.g. ESOP is mostly handled by the SIE). We will try
our best to disable it.
Most features (e.g. SCLP) can't directly be forwarded, as most of them need
in addition to hardware support, support in KVM. As we later on want to
turn these features in KVM explicitly on/off (to simulate different
behavior), we have to filter all features provided by the hardware and
make them configurable.

While the userspace interface requests the maximum size the gmap code
expects to get a maximum address.
This error resulted in bigger page tables than necessary for some guest
sizes, e.g. a 2GB guest used 3 levels instead of 2.
At the same time we introduce KVM_S390_NO_MEM_LIMIT, which allows in a
bright future that a guest spans the complete 64 bit address space.
We also switch to TASK_MAX_SIZE for the initial memory size, this is a
cosmetic change as the previous size also resulted in a 4 level pagetable
creation.

This patch enables cpu model support in kvm/s390 via the vm attribute
interface.
During KVM initialization, the host properties cpuid, IBC value and the
facility list are stored in the architecture specific cpu model structure.
During vcpu setup, these properties are taken to initialize the related SIE
state. This mechanism allows to adjust the properties from user space and thus
to implement different selectable cpu models.
This patch uses the IBC functionality to block instructions that have not
been implemented at the requested CPU type and GA level compared to the
full host capability.
Userspace has to initialize the cpu model before vcpu creation. A cpu model
change of running vcpus is not possible.

With commit c6c956b80bdf ("KVM: s390/mm: support gmap page tables with less
than 5 levels") we are able to define a limit for the guest memory size.
As we round up the guest size in respect to the levels of page tables
we get to guest limits of: 2048 MB, 4096 GB, 8192 TB and 16384 PB.
We currently limit the guest size to 16 TB, which means we end up
creating a page table structure supporting guest sizes up to 8192 TB.
This patch introduces an interface that allows userspace to tune
this limit. This may bring performance improvements for small guests.

We sometimes need to get/set attributes specific to a virtual machine
and so need something else than ONE_REG.
Let's copy the KVM_DEVICE approach, and define the respective ioctls
for the vm file descriptor.
