The s390 console drivers use the unblank callback of the console
structure to flush the console buffer. In case of a panic or a
reboot the CPU doing the callback can block on the console i/o.
The other CPUs in the system continue to work. For panic this is
not a good idea.
Replace the unblank callback with proper panic/reboot notifier.
These get called after all but one CPU have been stopped.

After all we came to the conclusion that this interface doesn't make any
sense. Besides that the ioctl number used was never registered, the header
file isn't exported, and we doubt there is even a single user.
So remove this interface, since it eases maintenance.

As noted by Akinobu Mita in patch b1fceac2b9,
alloc_bootmem and related functions never return NULL and always return a
zeroed region of memory. Thus a NULL test or memset after calls to these
functions is unnecessary.

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!
