[S390] Improve address space mode selection.
Introduce user_mode to replace the two variables switch_amode and s390_noexec. There are three valid combinations of the old values: 1) switch_amode == 0 && s390_noexec == 0 2) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 0 3) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 1 They get replaced by 1) user_mode == HOME_SPACE_MODE 2) user_mode == PRIMARY_SPACE_MODE 3) user_mode == SECONDARY_SPACE_MODE The new kernel parameter user_mode=[primary,secondary,home] lets you choose the address space mode the user space processes should use. In addition the CONFIG_S390_SWITCH_AMODE config option is removed. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

-config S390_SWITCH_AMODE
- bool "Switch kernel/user addressing modes"
- help
- This option allows to switch the addressing modes of kernel and user
- space. The kernel parameter switch_amode=on will enable this feature,
- default is disabled. Enabling this (via kernel parameter) on machines
- earlier than IBM System z9-109 EC/BC will reduce system performance.
-
- Note that this option will also be selected by selecting the execute
- protection option below. Enabling the execute protection via the
- noexec kernel parameter will also switch the addressing modes,
- independent of the switch_amode kernel parameter.

help
This option allows to enable a buffer overflow protection for user
space programs and it also selects the addressing mode option above.
