[patch 14/16] s390: memory detection > 32GB.

From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>

The kernel takes a very long time to boot if the memory size is bigger
then 32767 MB. The memory size is contained in a structure created by
an sclp call. The kernel accesses the field with a LH instrution which
performs a sign extension of a 16 bit word. In the case of a memory size
with bit 2^15 set this results in a very large value and the memory
detection just loops for a long time. In addition if more then 64 GB
are used on a 64 bit system the memory size is read from an incorrect
storage location.
Use zero-extention to read the 16 bit memory size and the correct offset
to read the 4 byte memory size on 64 bit.
