Andreas Krebbel suggested to use a ELF segment type to mark the qemu binary,
similar to GNU_STACK. For the kernel part of this solution see below, now
we just need toolchain support to generate a qemu executable with the
PT_S390_REQUEST_PGSTE segment. The -z linker option comes to mind, e.g.
"-z request-pgste"

Subject: [PATCH] s390/kvm: avoid global config of vm.alloc_pgste=1
The system control vm.alloc_pgste is used to control the size of the
page tables, either 2K or 4K. The idea is that a KVM host sets the
vm.alloc_pgste control to 1 which causes *all* new processes to run
with 4K page tables. For a non-kvm system the control should stay off
to save on memory used for page tables.
Trouble is that distributions choose to set the control globally to
be able to run KVM guests. This wastes memory on non-KVM systems.
Introduce the PT_S390_REQUEST_PGSTE ELF segment type to "mark" the
qemu executable with it. All executables with this (empty) segment in
its ELF phdr array will be started with 4K page tables. Any executable
without PT_S390_REQUEST_PGSTE will run with the default 2K page tables.
This removes the need to set vm.alloc_pgste=1 for a KVM host and
minimizes the waste of memory for page tables.
