A function in kvm-s390.c was replaced with a call to the function in
ap_bus.c that was externalized in patch 2/14. This was done to remove
duplicate code. Since zcrypt is built into the kernel, I didn't think
it would be a problem, but apparently because of the way zcrypt is
configured, it is still possible to remove it from the kernel build.

I am convinced that the original function from kvm_s390.c should be
restored.
