[S390] cio: Add chsc subchannel driver.
This patch adds a driver for subchannels of type chsc.
A device /dev/chsc is created which may be used to issue ioctls to:
- obtain information about the machine's I/O configuration
- dynamically change the machine's I/O configuration via
asynchronous chsc commands

351 | This driver allows usage of CHSC subchannels. A CHSC subchannel | ||
352 | is usually present on LPAR only. | ||
353 | The driver creates a device /dev/chsc, which may be used to | ||
354 | obtain I/O configuration information about the machine and | ||
355 | to issue asynchronous chsc commands (DANGEROUS). | ||
356 | You will usually only want to use this interface on a special | ||
357 | LPAR designated for system management. | ||
358 | |||
359 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the | ||
360 | module will be called chsc_sch. | ||
