KVM: s390: Add support for channel I/O instructions.
Add a new capability, KVM_CAP_S390_CSS_SUPPORT, which will pass
intercepts for channel I/O instructions to userspace. Only I/O
instructions interacting with I/O interrupts need to be handled
in-kernel:
- TEST PENDING INTERRUPTION (tpi) dequeues and stores pending
interrupts entirely in-kernel.
- TEST SUBCHANNEL (tsch) dequeues pending interrupts in-kernel
and exits via KVM_EXIT_S390_TSCH to userspace for subchannel-
related processing.
