Subject: [PATCH RFC tools/memory-model] Add s390.{cfg,cat}

Hello!

The prototype patch shown below provides files required to allow herd7 to
evaluate C-language litmus tests for the multicopy-atomic TSO ordering
provided by s390.  This patch should be viewed with great suspicion.
It does what I expect it to do on SB (with and without barriers),
IRIW without barriers, and Alan's SB with read-of-write added, but my
expectations are quite likely faulty, and my test cases are very few
in number.

Either way, this is the easy part.  The hard part (which I am happy
to leave to others) is making litmus7 and klitmus7 able to do tests
on actual hardware, as well as enabling herd to handle litmus tests
containing BAL.  ;-)

Note that CPU architectures already supported by herd might well need
only a .cfg file that refers to herd's pre-existing support.

Thoughts?

							Thanx, Paul

    tools/memory-model: Add .cfg and .cat files for s390
    
    This commit adds s390.cat and s390.cfg files to allow users to check
    litmus tests for s390-specific code.  Note that this change only enables
    herd7 checking of C-language litmus tests.  Larger changes are required
    to enable the litmus7 and klitmus7 tools to check litmus tests on real
    hardare.
