[RFC PATCH v1] KVM: selftests: Compile s390 tests with -march=z10

[Nina Schoetterl-Glausch <nsg@linux.ibm.com>]

The guest used in s390 kvm selftests is not be set up to handle all
instructions the compiler might emit, i.e. vector instructions, leading
to crashes.
Limit what the compiler emits to the oldest machine model currently
supported by Linux.

Should we also set -mtune?
Since it are vector instructions that caused the problem here, there
are some alternatives:
 * use -mno-vx
 * set the required guest control bit to enable vector instructions on
   models supporting them

-march=z10 might prevent similar issues with other instructions, but I
don't know if there actually exist other relevant instructions, so it
could be needlessly restricting.
