This patch prepares a simplification of bit operations between the irq pending mask for emulated interrupts and the Interruption Pending Mask (IPM) which is part of the Guest Interruption State Area (GISA), a feature that allows interrupt delivery to guests by means of the SIE instruction. Without that change, a bit-wise *or* operation on parts of these two masks would either require a look-up table of size 256 bytes to map the IPM to the emulated irq pending mask bit orientation (all bits mirrored at half byte) or a sequence of up to 8 condidional branches to perform tests of single bit positions. Both options are to be rejected either by performance or space utilization reasons. Beyond that this change will be transparent.
