Here's a patch to add s390x support to cpu-checker. Logically, it does
the same as POWER and just assumes that the hardware is always virt
capable. My understanding is that zSeries supports nested virtualization
(SIE instruction supports 2 layers, then the OS emulates SIE after
that).

I also did some cleanup:
 -  replaced a series of if/elif/elif/elif with a case statement to reduce code duplication
 - I replaced the "POWER"  virt type with one called "generic" that can be shared among
   platforms that are always assumed to be virt-capable
 - I got rid of the comment about "HYP mode" in power, as "HYP mode" is an ARM construct.
