The ieee_instruction_pointer can not be read from user space anymore
since git commit 613e1def6b, the ptrace
interface always returns zero. Remove it from the thread_struct. It
is still present in the user_regs_struct for compatability reasons.

Drop support to compile the kernel with gcc versions older than 3.3.3.
This allows us to use the "Q" inline assembly contraint on some more
inline assemblies without duplicating a lot of complex code (e.g. __xchg
and __cmpxchg). The distinction for older gcc versions can be removed
which saves a few lines and simplifies the code.

The disabled_wait inline assmembly also clobbers register r1, but it
is missing in the clobber list.

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.

Make page table walking on s390 more robust. The current code requires
that the pgd/pud/pmd/pte loop is only done for address ranges that are
below the end address of the last vma of the address space. But this
is not always true, e.g. the generic page table walker does not guarantee
this. Change TASK_SIZE/TASK_SIZE_OF to reflect the current size of the
address space. This makes the generic page table walker happy but it
breaks the upgrade of a 3 level page table to a 4 level page table.
To make the upgrade work again another fix is required.

disabled_wait() won't return, so add an __attribute__((noreturn)).
This will remove a false positive finding which our internal code
checker reports.
