Newer distributions have an architecture level set to z9, z196
or similar - also as default option for the compiler.
We should build the bios for z900 to allow it to run with
all 64bit CPUs. This will become more important as soon as
QEMU/KVM does support CPU models.

Some gcc versions (e.g. Fedora 22 gcc 5.1.1) seem to use floating
point registers for spilling and filling of general purpose registers.
As the BIOS does not activate the AFP register setting of CR0 this can
cause data exception program checks.
Disallow floating point in the BIOS as a simple solution.

Starting with version 4.9, GCC assumes it can't safely dereference null
pointers, and uses this for some optimizations. On s390, the lowcore
memory is located at address 0, so this assumption is wrong and breaks
the s390-ccw firmware. Pass -fdelete-null-pointer-checks to avoid that.

The current bios sits at location 0x7e00000 in the guest RAM
and thus prevents loading of bigger ramdisks. By making the
image relocatable we can move it to the end of the RAM so that
it is getting out of the way.

This patch adds a makefile, so we can build our ccw firmware. Also
add the resulting binaries to .gitignore, so that nobody is annoyed
they might be in the tree.
