    s390: add options to change branch prediction behaviour for the kernel
    
    Add the PPA instruction to the system entry and exit path to switch
    the kernel to a different branch prediction behaviour. The instructions
    are added via CPU alternatives and can be disabled with the "nospec"
    or the "nobp=0" kernel parameter. If the default behaviour selected
    with CONFIG_KERNEL_NOBP is set to "n" then the "nobp=1" parameter can be
    used to enable the changed kernel branch prediction.

+	  The modified branch prediction mode improves the behaviour in
