KVM: s390: Features and Enhancements for 5.7 part1

1. Allow to disable gisa
2. protected virtual machines
  Protected VMs (PVM) are KVM VMs, where KVM can't access the VM's
  state like guest memory and guest registers anymore. Instead the
  PVMs are mostly managed by a new entity called Ultravisor (UV),
  which provides an API, so KVM and the PV can request management
  actions.

  PVMs are encrypted at rest and protected from hypervisor access
  while running.  They switch from a normal operation into protected
  mode, so we can still use the standard boot process to load a
  encrypted blob and then move it into protected mode.

  Rebooting is only possible by passing through the unprotected/normal
  mode and switching to protected again.

  One mm related patch will go via Andrews mm tree ( mm/gup/writeback:
  add callbacks for inaccessible pages)
