docs: s390: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst
Convert all text files with s390 documentation to ReST format. Tried to preserve as much as possible the original document format. Still, some of the files required some work in order for it to be visible on both plain text and after converted to html. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

8Uevents
9-------
10
11To generate the events the device must be assigned a role of either
12a primary or a secondary Bridge Port. For more information, see
13"z/VM Connectivity, SC24-6174".
14
15When run on an OSA or HiperSockets Bridge Capable Port hardware, and the state
16of some configured Bridge Port device on the channel changes, a udev
17event with ACTION=CHANGE is emitted on behalf of the corresponding
18ccwgroup device. The event has the following attributes:
19
20BRIDGEPORT=statechange
21 indicates that the Bridge Port device changed
22 its state.
23
24ROLE={primary|secondary|none}
25 the role assigned to the port.
26
27STATE={active|standby|inactive}
28 the newly assumed state of the port.
29
30When run on HiperSockets Bridge Capable Port hardware with host address
31notifications enabled, a udev event with ACTION=CHANGE is emitted.
32It is emitted on behalf of the corresponding ccwgroup device when a host
33or a VLAN is registered or unregistered on the network served by the device.
34The event has the following attributes:
35
36BRIDGEDHOST={reset|register|deregister|abort}
37 host address
38 notifications are started afresh, a new host or VLAN is registered or
39 deregistered on the Bridge Port HiperSockets channel, or address
40 notifications are aborted.
41
42VLAN=numeric-vlan-id
43 VLAN ID on which the event occurred. Not included
44 if no VLAN is involved in the event.
45
46MAC=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
47 MAC address of the host that is being registered
48 or deregistered from the HiperSockets channel. Not reported if the
49 event reports the creation or destruction of a VLAN.
50
51NTOK_BUSID=x.y.zzzz
52 device bus ID (CSSID, SSID and device number).
53
54NTOK_IID=xx
55 device IID.
56
57NTOK_CHPID=xx
58 device CHPID.
59
60NTOK_CHID=xxxx
61 device channel ID.
62
63Note that the `NTOK_*` attributes refer to devices other than the one
64connected to the system on which the OS is running.
