[Bug 1987067] [NEW] fwupd fails on s390x

[Frank Heimes]

Public bug reported:

On a 22.04.1 s390y system I've noted (again, since I saw that already
before) that fwupd fails on s390x:

Aug 17 21:12:03 s1lp10 fwupd[9629]: 21:12:03:0555 FuContext            Failed to load SMBIOS: neither SMBIOS or DT found 
Aug 17 21:12:03 s1lp10 fwupd[9629]: 21:12:03:0591 FuPluginTpm          failed to load eventlog: Failed to open file "/sys/kernel/security/tpm0/binary_bios_measurements": No such file or directory
Aug 17 21:12:03 s1lp10 dbus-daemon[671]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.fwupd'
Aug 17 21:12:03 s1lp10 systemd[1]: Started Firmware update daemon.
Aug 17 21:12:03 s1lp10 fwupd[9629]: 21:12:03:0609 FuPluginAcpiFacp     failed to load /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/FACP: Failed to open file "/sys/firmware/acpi/tables/FACP": No such file or directory
Aug 17 21:12:03 s1lp10 fwupd[9629]: 21:12:03:0609 FuPluginLinuxSleep   could not open /sys/power/mem_sleep: Error opening file /sys/power/mem_sleep: No such file or directory

This is not surprising, since the firmware update for s390x components
(system firmware as well as adapter/card firmware) is done with the help
of the hardware management console (HMC).

And an s390x system does not offer:
/sys/firmware/acpi
nor
/sys/kernel/security/tpm0
/sys/power

So I'm wondering if fwupd can be removed or disabled on s390x,
or at least if fwupd runs, that it checks for the underlying arch, and in case of s390x just stops.
