The path grouping can fail due to non-unique pathgroup-IDs. The source for
the CPU-ID part of the ID was incorrectly specified on 64 bit systems.
Additionally, the length of the ID was too large due to incorrect data packing
declaration. Fix CPU-ID lowcore address and add missing packing declaration.

The new machine check handler still has a few bugs.
1) The system entry time has to be stored in the machine check handler,
2) the machine check return psw may not be stored at the usual place
because it might overwrite the return psw of the interrupted context,
3) the return address for the call to s390_handle_mcck in the i/o interrupt
handler is not correct,
4) the system call cleanup has to take the different save area of the
machine check handler into account,
5) the machine check handler may not call UPDATE_VTIME before
CREATE_STACK_FRAME, and
6) the io leave path needs a critical section cleanup to make sure that the
TIF_MCCK_PENDING bit is really checked before switching back to user space.

Split spin lock and r/w lock implementation into a single try which is done
inline and an out of line function that repeatedly tries to get the lock
before doing the cpu_relax(). Add a system control to set the number of
retries before a cpu is yielded.
The reason for the spin lock retry is that the diagnose 0x44 that is used to
give up the virtual cpu is quite expensive. For spin locks that are held only
for a short period of time the costs of the diagnoses outweights the savings
for spin locks that are held for a longer timer. The default retry count is
1000.

Improved machine check handling. Kernel is now able to receive machine checks
while in kernel mode (system call, interrupt and program check handling).
Also register validation is now performed.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
