We tests the update of the Mesurement Block (MB) format 0
and format 1 using a serie of senseid requests.

*Warning*: One of the tests for format-1 will unexpectedly fail for QEMU elf
unless the QEMU patch "css: SCHIB measurement block origin must be aligned"
is applied.

That one has hit QEMU master by now.

With Protected Virtualization, the PGM is correctly recognized.

The MB format 1 is only provided if the Extended mesurement Block
feature is available.

This feature is exposed by the CSS characteristics general features
stored by the Store Channel Subsystem Characteristics CHSC command,
consequently, we implement the CHSC instruction call and the SCSC CHSC
command.

In order to ease the writing of new tests using:
- interrupt
- enablement of a subchannel
- multiple I/O on a subchannel

We do the following simplifications:
- we create a CSS initialization routine
- we register the I/O interrupt handler on CSS initialization
- we do not enable or disable a subchannel in the senseid test,
   assuming this test is done after the enable test, this allows
   to create traffic using the SSCH used by senseid.
- failures not part of the feature under test will stop the tests.
- we add a css_enabled() function to test if a subchannel is enabled.

*note*:
     I rearranged the use of the senseid for the tests, by not modifying
     the existing test and having a dedicated senseid() function for
     the purpose of the tests.
     I think that it is in the rigght way so I kept the RB and ACK on
     the simplification, there are less changes, if it is wrong from me
     I suppose I will see this in the comments.
     Since the changed are moved inside the fmt0 test which is not approved
     for now I hope it is OK.

I'll double-check, but I think it should be ok.

...that said, I found some reordering issues, but nothing major;
generally, it looks good to me.


Thanks,
so I do the reordering and respin for hopefully the right series :)

Regards,
Pierre
