What's the matter with the kernel source, Peter? It shows that, yes, it uses code pages 037 and 500. It looks like 037 for the 3215 and 3270 console and 500 for the integrated system console (037 if running on VM). All conversions are to 437 (based on commentary). http://lxr.linux.no/source/drivers/s390/ebcdic.c?a=s390#L70 and http://lxr.linux.no/source/arch/s390/kernel/ebcdic.c?a=s390#L91 were starting points for my search.
