Some patches to improve the network boot experience on s390x:

First patch is just a minor code refactoring which should not have
any visible impact, but makes the following patches easier.

Patch 2 and 3 add support for loading kernels via configuration files,
pxelinux-style and .INS-file style. This way you don't have to manually
glue your ramdisk to your kernel anymore, so this should be quite a
relieve for all users who want to boot Linux via the network.

The last patch makes sure that we leave the machine in a sane state
before jumping into the Linux kernel - i.e. the netboot firmware now
resets the machine with diag308, too, just like the main s390-ccw
is doing it already.

v2:
 - Replaced the patch to shut down virtio-net with the diag308 patch
 - Slightly changed the logic that probes for pxelinux config files:
   The user can now supply a base folder where config files reside
   (the DHCP bootfile name then must end with a slash), and the
   firmware will then only look in that folder for config files
   instead of always probing the "pxelinux.cfg" folder. This way
   we avoid a potential clash with x86 pxelinux.cfg files.
 - Some clean-ups here and there.
