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

[S390] memory detection: fix off by one bug.

diag 260 returns the address of the last addressable byte and not the
size of memory. Since we want the size we have to add 1 to the return
value.
Disable diag 260 for non z/Arch mode since it doesn't work there
anyway.
