d8e5bbdd0d pc-bios: s390x: Ensure Read IPL memory is clean
If, for example, we boot off a virtio device and chreipl to a vfio-ccw
device, the space at lowcore will be non-zero. We build a Read IPL CCW
at address zero, but it will have leftover PSW data that will conflict
with the Format-0 CCW being generated:

0x0: 00080000 80010000
       ------ Ccw0.cda
              -- Ccw0.chainData
                -- Reserved bits

The data address will be overwritten with the correct value (0x0), but
the apparent data chain bit will cause subsequent memory to be used as
the target of the data store, which may not be where we expect (0x0).

Clear out this space when we boot from DASD, so that we know it exists
exactly as we expect.
