s390/smp: make absolute lowcore / cpu restart parameter accesses more robust
Setting the cpu restart parameters is done in three different fashions: - directly setting the four parameters individually - copying the four parameters with memcpy (using 4 * sizeof(long)) - copying the four parameters using a private structure In addition code in entry*.S relies on a certain order of the restart members of struct _lowcore. Make all of this more robust to future changes by adding a mem_absolute_assign(dest, val) define, which assigns val to dest using absolute addressing mode. Also the load multiple instructions in entry*.S have been split into separate load instruction so the order of the struct _lowcore members doesn't matter anymore. In addition move the prototypes of memcpy_real/absolute from uaccess.h to processor.h. These memcpy* variants are not related to uaccess at all. string.h doesn't seem to match as well, so lets use processor.h. Also replace the eight byte array in struct _lowcore which represents a misaliged u64 with a u64. The compiler will always create code that handles the misaligned u64 correctly.
