    Introduce user_mode to replace the two variables switch_amode and
    s390_noexec. There are three valid combinations of the old values:
      1) switch_amode == 0 && s390_noexec == 0
      2) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 0
      3) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 1
    They get replaced by
      1) user_mode == HOME_SPACE_MODE
      2) user_mode == PRIMARY_SPACE_MODE
      3) user_mode == SECONDARY_SPACE_MODE
    The new kernel parameter user_mode=[primary,secondary,home] lets
    you choose the address space mode the user space processes should
    use. In addition the CONFIG_S390_SWITCH_AMODE config option
    is removed.
