[RFC,v1,2/2] VS1544 KSM s390-specific memory comparison functions

Commit Message

Claudio Imbrenda Sept. 25, 2017, 8:46 a.m. UTC

Introduce s390 specific page comparison and checksumming functions:

The s390-specific functions use the CKSM instruction to quickly
calculate the checksum of a page.

This provides a measurable reduction on CPU load when KSM is active.
