	To save the registers for all CPUs a sigp "store status" is done that stores the registers to address absolute zero. To access storage at absolute zero, normally the address of the prefix register of the accessing CPU has to be used. This does not work when large pages are active (currently only under LPAR). In order to fix that problem, instead of memcpy memcpy_real is used, which switches to real mode where prefixing works.

2009-06-12	[S390] maccess: arch specific probe_kernel_write() implementation	Heiko Carstens
	Add an s390 specific probe_kernel_write() function which allows to write to the kernel text segment even if write protection is enabled. This is implemented using the lra (load real address) and stura (store using real address) instructions.
