Thanks Stephen, I believe this is applicable to stable kernels >= 3.13
containing:

commit acf6a004e6a35dad17032e3b7c5a046c29957e65
Author: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Date:   Wed Nov 13 10:38:27 2013 +0100

    s390/sclp: Move early code from sclp_cmd.c to sclp_early.c

I'm queuing this for the next 3.16 kernel release.

Cheers,
