s390 image

[tpimh]

As buildroot no longer supports s390, an alternative should be found.

https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/continuous-integration/pull/229#issuecomment-583760615 needs to be dealt with first.

We should be able to boot all the way until init.

I've started messing around with creating a simple busybox initramfs though.

It might be nice to reach out to the s390 folks about it, along with asking if they have done any formal testing around clang (since getting it simply building vs. booting is a completely different story).

WIP: #26

[nathanchance]

Looks like QEMU side fixes are needed for clang s390 kernels to boot?

https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20210107202135.52379-1-david@redhat.com/

https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20210107231322.56345-1-david@redhat.com/

I will mess around with those two patches and #26 tomorrow.
