KVM: s390: Add MEMOP ioctls for reading/writing guest memory

On s390, we've got to make sure to hold the IPTE lock while accessing
logical memory. So let's add an ioctl for reading and writing logical
memory to provide this feature for userspace, too.
The maximum transfer size of this call is limited to 64kB to prevent
that the guest can trigger huge copy_from/to_user transfers. QEMU
currently only requests up to one or two pages so far, so 16*4kB seems
to be a reasonable limit here.

+4.89 KVM_S390_MEM_OP
+
+Capability: KVM_CAP_S390_MEM_OP
+Architectures: s390
+Type: vcpu ioctl
+Parameters: struct kvm_s390_mem_op (in)
+Returns: = 0 on success,
+         < 0 on generic error (e.g. -EFAULT or -ENOMEM),
+         > 0 if an exception occurred while walking the page tables
+
+Read or write data from/to the logical (virtual) memory of a VPCU.
+
+Parameters are specified via the following structure:
+
+struct kvm_s390_mem_op {
+        __u64 gaddr;            /* the guest address */
+        __u64 flags;            /* flags */
+        __u32 size;             /* amount of bytes */
+        __u32 op;               /* type of operation */
+        __u64 buf;              /* buffer in userspace */
+        __u8 ar;                /* the access register number */
+        __u8 reserved[31];      /* should be set to 0 */
+};
+
+The type of operation is specified in the "op" field. It is either
+KVM_S390_MEMOP_LOGICAL_READ for reading from logical memory space or
+KVM_S390_MEMOP_LOGICAL_WRITE for writing to logical memory space. The
+KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_CHECK_ONLY flag can be set in the "flags" field to check
+whether the corresponding memory access would create an access exception
+(without touching the data in the memory at the destination). In case an
+access exception occurred while walking the MMU tables of the guest, the
+ioctl returns a positive error number to indicate the type of exception.
+This exception is also raised directly at the corresponding VCPU if the
+flag KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_INJECT_EXCEPTION is set in the "flags" field.
+
+The start address of the memory region has to be specified in the "gaddr"
+field, and the length of the region in the "size" field. "buf" is the buffer
+supplied by the userspace application where the read data should be written
+to for KVM_S390_MEMOP_LOGICAL_READ, or where the data that should be written
+is stored for a KVM_S390_MEMOP_LOGICAL_WRITE. "buf" is unused and can be NULL
+when KVM_S390_MEMOP_F_CHECK_ONLY is specified. "ar" designates the access
+register number to be used.
+
+The "reserved" field is meant for future extensions. It is not used by
+KVM with the currently defined set of flags.
