s390_base_ext_handler_fn haven't been used since its introduction in
commit ab14de6c37fa ("[S390] Convert memory detection into C code.").
s390_base_ext_handler itself is currently falsely storing 16 registers
at __LC_SAVE_AREA_ASYNC rewriting several following lowcore values:
cpu_flags, return_psw, return_mcck_psw, sync_enter_timer and
async_enter_timer.
Besides that s390_base_ext_handler itself is only potentially hiding
EXT interrupts which should not have happen in the first place. Any
piece of code which requires EXT interrupts before fully functional
ext_int_handler is enabled has to do it on its own, like this is done
by sclp_early_cmd() which is doing EXT interrupts handling synchronously
in sclp_early_wait_irq().
With s390_base_ext_handler removed unexpected EXT interrupt leads
to disabled wait with the address 0x1b0 (__LC_EXT_NEW_PSW), which is
currently setup in the decompressor.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
