[S390] zcore: CPU registers are not saved under LPAR
To save the registers for all CPUs a sigp "store status" is done that stores the registers to address absolute zero. To access storage at absolute zero, normally the address of the prefix register of the accessing CPU has to be used. This does not work when large pages are active (currently only under LPAR). In order to fix that problem, instead of memcpy memcpy_real is used, which switches to real mode where prefixing works.
