[S390] Extra Kernel Parameters via VMPARM

Now it is possible to specify additional kernel parameters on the IPL
command line using the IPL PARM option.
If the Linux system is already running, the new reipl sysfs attribute
'parm' can be used to change kernel parameters for the next reboot.
Examples:
  IPL    C PARM dasd=1234 root=/dev/dasda1
  IPL 1234 PARM savesys=mylnxnss
  echo "init=/bin/bash" > /sys/firmware/reipl/ccw/parm
