s390: add support for transactional memory
Allow user-space processes to use transactional execution (TX). If the TX facility is available user space programs can use transactions for fine-grained serialization based on the data objects that are referenced during a transaction. This is useful for lockless data structures and speculative compiler optimizations. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
