Alexander Gordeev 56b1069c40 s390/boot: Rework deployment of the kernel image
Rework deployment of kernel image for both compressed and
uncompressed variants as defined by CONFIG_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED
kernel configuration variable.

In case CONFIG_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED is disabled avoid uncompressing
the kernel to a temporary buffer and copying it to the target
address. Instead, uncompress it directly to the target destination.

In case CONFIG_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED is enabled avoid moving the
kernel to default 0x100000 location when KASLR is disabled or
failed. Instead, use the uncompressed kernel image directly.

In case KASLR is disabled or failed .amode31 section location in
memory is not randomized and precedes the kernel image. In case
CONFIG_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED is disabled that location overlaps the
area used by the decompression algorithm. That is fine, since that
area is not used after the decompression finished and the size of
.amode31 section is not expected to exceed BOOT_HEAP_SIZE ever.

There is no decompression in case CONFIG_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED is
enabled. Therefore, rename decompress_kernel() to deploy_kernel(),
which better describes both uncompressed and compressed cases.

Introduce AMODE31_SIZE macro to avoid immediate value of 0x3000
(the size of .amode31 section) in the decompressor linker script.
Modify the vmlinux linker script to force the size of .amode31
section to AMODE31_SIZE (the value of (_eamode31 - _samode31)
could otherwise differ as result of compiler options used).

Introduce __START_KERNEL macro that defines the kernel ELF image
entry point and set it to the currrent value of 0x100000.
