    pc-bios/s390-ccw/bootmap: Improve the guessing logic in zipl_load_vblk()
586cba
586cba
    The logic of trying an final ISO or ECKD boot on virtio-block devices is
586cba
    very weird: Since the geometry hardly ever matches in virtio_disk_is_scsi(),
586cba
    virtio_blk_setup_device() always sets a "guessed" disk geometry via
586cba
    virtio_assume_scsi() (which is certainly also wrong in a lot of cases).
586cba
586cba
    zipl_load_vblk() then sees that there's been a "virtio_guessed_disk_nature"
586cba
    and tries to fix up the geometry again via virtio_assume_iso9660() before
586cba
    always trying to do ipl_iso_el_torito(). That's a very brain-twisting
586cba
    way of attempting to boot from ISO images, which won't work anymore after
586cba
    the following patches that will clean up the virtio_assume_scsi() mess
586cba
    (and thus get rid of the "virtio_guessed_disk_nature" here).
586cba
586cba
    Let's try a better approach instead: ISO files always have a magic
586cba
    string "CD001" at offset 0x8001 (see e.g. the ECMA-119 specification)
586cba
    which we can use to decide whether we should try to boot in ISO 9660
586cba
    mode (which we should also try if we see a sector size of 2048).
586cba
586cba
    And if we were not able to boot in ISO mode here, the final boot attempt
586cba
    before panicking is to boot in ECKD mode. Since this is our last boot
586cba
    attempt anyway, simply always assume the ECKD geometry here (if the sector
586cba
    size was not 4096 yet), so that we also do not depend on the guessed disk
586cba
    geometry from virtio_blk_setup_device() here anymore.
