LPAR and z/VM start in esam mode depending on the hardware, so we need
to switch to z/Arch and set 64 bit addressing.

Under Qemu/KVM we already start out with both when being run with the
Qemu --kernel argument or we lack 64 bit when booting from disk
because of the initial psw specifying 31 bit for z/VM and lpar
compatibility.

Use the new define for set architecture here?

Do we really want to keep the lmh here? ... yes, I know the kernel is
doing this, too, but I really fail to see why we would need it in the
kvm-unit-tests, too... have you tried it also without this clearing?

I think I had it without that for a few days.
What's your reasoning against it? We loose more cycles when clearing BSS
under KVM where it's empty anyway. I'd rather expand it to a lm, to
really have a fresh start.

It just looks weird this way. Like we wanted to execute some 32-bit code
in 64-bit mode afterwards, but we don't do that.

Fine for me, just add a comment like that ("Clear all registers to make
sure that we have a well-defined fresh start" or so).

I think I'd also rather write this as:

	.irp i, 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15
	 xgr \i,\i
	.endr

... since that takes a little bit less space.
