This adds support to IPL from ECKD DASDs to linux.
It introduces a few sysfs files in /sys/firmware/reipl/eckd:
bootprog: the boot program selector
clear: whether to issue a diag308 LOAD_NORMAL or LOAD_CLEAR
device: the device to ipl from
br_chr: Cylinder/Head/Record number to read the bootrecord from.
Might be '0' or 'auto' if it should be read from the
volume label.
scpdata: data to be passed to the ipl'd program.
The new ipl type is called 'eckd'.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
