The cpuid (and most other things about s390 arch) are documented in 
the principles of operation:
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/a2278324.pdf
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/dz9zs001.pdf

(see chapter "control instructions" - store cpu id)

The 0xfe however is convention, the kvm arch code sets this value 
where it implements that instruction. See "privileged instructions" patch.
