    s390: remove unused s390_base_ext_handler · f38b0a74
    Vasily Gorbik authored
    s390_base_ext_handler_fn haven't been used since its introduction in
    commit ab14de6c ("[S390] Convert memory detection into C code.").
    
    s390_base_ext_handler itself is currently falsely storing 16 registers
    at __LC_SAVE_AREA_ASYNC rewriting several following lowcore values:
    cpu_flags, return_psw, return_mcck_psw, sync_enter_timer and
    async_enter_timer.
    
    Besides that s390_base_ext_handler itself is only potentially hiding
    EXT interrupts which should not have happen in the first place. Any
    piece of code which requires EXT interrupts before fully functional
    ext_int_handler is enabled has to do it on its own, like this is done
    by sclp_early_cmd() which is doing EXT interrupts handling synchronously
    in sclp_early_wait_irq().
    
    With s390_base_ext_handler removed unexpected EXT interrupt leads
    to disabled wait with the address 0x1b0 (__LC_EXT_NEW_PSW), which is
    currently setup in the decompressor.
