If no boot menu options are present, then flag the boot menu to
use the zipl options that were set in the zipl configuration file
(and stored on disk by zipl). These options are found at some
offset prior to the start of the zipl boot menu banner. The zipl
timeout value is limited to a 16-bit unsigned integer and stored
as seconds, so we take care to convert it to milliseconds in order
to conform to the rest of the boot menu functionality. This is
limited to CCW devices.
For reference, the zipl configuration file uses the following
fields in the menu section:
prompt=1 enable the boot menu
timeout=X set the timeout to X seconds
To explicitly disregard any boot menu options, then menu=off or
<bootmenu enable='no' ... /> must be specified.

Set boot menu options for an s390 guest and store them in
the iplb. These options are set via the QEMU command line
option:
-boot menu=on|off[,splash-time=X]
or via the libvirt domain xml:
<os>
<bootmenu enable='yes|no' timeout='X'/>
</os>
Where X represents some positive integer representing
milliseconds.
Any value set for loadparm will override all boot menu options.
If loadparm=PROMPT, then the menu will be enabled without a
timeout.

The s390-ccw firmware needs some information in support of the
boot process which is not available on the native machine.
Examples are the netboot firmware load address and now the
boot menu parameters.
While storing that data in unused fields of the IPL parameter block
works, that approach could create problems if the parameter block
definition should change in the future. Because then a guest could
overwrite these fields using the set IPLB diagnose.
In fact the data in question is of more global nature and not really
tied to an IPL device, so separating it is rather logical.
This commit introduces a new structure to hold firmware relevant
IPL parameters set by QEMU. The data is stored at location 204 (dec)
and can contain up to 7 32-bit words. This area is available to
programming in the z/Architecture Principles of Operation and
can thus safely be used by the firmware until the IPL has completed.

We want to use the ccw bios to start final network boot. To do
this we use ccw bios to detect if the boot device is a virtio
network device and retrieve the start address of the
network boot image.

There is ,bootindex=%d argument to specify the lookup order of
boot devices.
If a bootindex assigned to the device, then IPL Parameter Info Block
is created for that device when it is IPLed from.
If it is a mere SCSI device (not FCP), then IPIB is created with a
special SCSI type and its fields are used to store SCSI address of the
device. This new ipl block is private to qemu for now.
If the device to IPL from is specified this way, then SCSI bus lookup
is bypassed and prescribed devices uses the address specified.

To IPL from a device, pc-bios receives from qemu a device address via
general register 7. The better way to do it is to use diag308/6
instruction which returns so called
"IplParameterBlock". IplParameterBlock contains the device address for
IPL and additional parameters that can be used by pc-bios.
This patch allows pc-bios to get device address via diag308/6 and
doesn't use gr7 passed boot information anymore.
