s390: add options to change branch prediction behaviour for the kernel
Add the PPA instruction to the system entry and exit path to switch
the kernel to a different branch prediction behaviour. The instructions
are added via CPU alternatives and can be disabled with the "nospec"
or the "nobp=0" kernel parameter. If the default behaviour selected
with CONFIG_KERNEL_NOBP is set to "n" then the "nobp=1" parameter can be
used to enable the changed kernel branch prediction.

+ If this option is selected the kernel will switch to a modified
+ branch prediction mode if the firmware interface is available.
+ The modified branch prediction mode improves the behaviour in
+ regard to speculative execution.
+
+ With the option enabled the kernel parameter "nobp=0" or "nospec"
+ can be used to run the kernel in the normal branch prediction mode.
+
+ With the option disabled the modified branch prediction mode is
+ enabled with the "nobp=1" kernel parameter.

+ If unsure, say N.
