Title:
  adjust the s390x parts of the 16.04 install guide

Status in installation-guide package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  IBM and also some early adopter customers complaint about the official Ubuntu 16.04 installation guide for s390x (IBM System z):
  https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/installation-guide/
  mentioning that:
  - it contains partly outdated information and links
  - that there is not enough s390x / IBM z Systems focus
  - that the naming is not correct
  - that it includes information that is not relevant to s390x

  Due to these complaints and because of the urgency I created an adjusted and revised version of the install guide with special s390x focus and transformed it (for convenience reasons) to a wiki.
  It is located here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/S390X/InstallationGuide
  It includes two further child documents covering:
   - step-by-step instructions on howto setup Ubuntu on z in an LPAR:
     https://wiki.ubuntu.com/S390X/Installation%20In%20LPAR
   - step-by-step instructions on howto setup Ubuntu on z as z/VM guest:
     https://wiki.ubuntu.com/S390X/Installation%20In%20zVM
   - step-by-step instructions on howto setup Ubuntu on z as KVM for IBM z Systems:
     https://wiki.ubuntu.com/S390X/Installation%20In%20zKVM

  Please update the official Ubuntu 16.04 installation guide available here:
  https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/installation-guide/
  especially the s390x specific parts with the revised version that is temporarily available from that wiki:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/S390X/InstallationGuide

  It will also be helpful if the links at the Installation Guide landing
  page that points to the s390x version(s) can be temporarily replaced
  by the link to the wiki - just until the update and merge is
  completed.
