s390x architecture uses zipl as bootloader. When used in combination
with the vm element it replaces the existing bootloader element.
It's mandatory for s390x vm images.
Use cases
---------
* Allow users to create s390x images that run on nova with s390x
libvirt/kvm backend
* Building nodepool images for s390x third party CI
Supported Distros
-----------------
The following listing shows all Distros that officially support
s390x and how those Distros are supported in DIB with this patch.
* SLES - not supported (SLES is not supported in DIB)
* RHEL - not suppoprted (RHEL is not supported as KVM guest on s390x,
therefore there's no rhel7 qcow image for s390x available
like it is for other archictectures)
* Ubuntu - supported
Ubuntu images can for example be built using the following commands:
$ disk-image-create ubuntu-minimal zipl vm
$ disk-image-create ubuntu-minimal zipl
$ disk-image-create ubuntu zipl vm
Testing
-------
Cross architecture building of s390x images is not supported so far.
The plan is to set up a ThirdParty CI that builds the image for s390x and
provides the logs.
