[B][SRU][PATCH 0/1] s390/early: improve machine detection

[Po-Hsu Lin]

== Justification ==
The s390x early machine detection code check will set all the uknown
hypervisors to z/VM, this will cause crash for any non KVM, z/VM
system.

== Fixes ==
03aa047e (s390/early: improve machine detection)
Patch can be cherry-picked into Bionic kernel.

Instead of setting all the other hypervisors to z/VM, it will only set
MACHINE_FLAG_VM if it matches the case.

== Tests ==
A test kernel could be found here:
https://people.canonical.com/~phlin/kernel/lp-1829972-s390x-early/

Boot tested on a s390x KVM node and verified by IBM as well.

== Regression Potential ==
Low, this just improves the detection logic and the changes are
specific to s390x.
