The netboot firmware so far simply jumped directly into the OS kernel
after the download has been completed. This, however, bears the risk
that the virtio-net device still might be active in the background and
incoming packets are still placed into the buffers - which could destroy
memory of the now-running Linux kernel in case it did not take over the
device fast enough. Also the SCLP console is not put into a well-defined
state here. We should hand over the system in a clean state when jumping
into the kernel, so let's use the same mechanism as it's done in the
main s390-ccw firmware and reset the machine with diag308 into a clean
state before jumping into the OS kernel code. To be able to share the
code with the main s390-ccw firmware, the related functions are now
extracted from bootmap.c into a new file called jump2ipl.c.
Since we now also set the boot device schid at address 184 for the network
boot device, this patch also slightly changes the way how we detect the
entry points for non-ELF binary images: The code now looks for the "S390EP"
magic first and then jumps to 0x10000 in case it has been found. This is
necessary for booting from network devices, since the normal kernel code
(where the PSW at ddress 0 points to) tries to do a block load from the
boot device. This of course fails for a virtio-net device and causes the
kernel to abort with a panic-PSW silently.
