** Description changed:

- Description:   
+ [ Impact ]
+ 
+ Glibc arch level is not recognized correctly on IBM z17 instances.
+ 
+ Add detection for machine types 0x9175 and 0x9176 and set ELF platform
+ name to z17.
+ 
+ [ Fix ]
+ 
+ Backport the following commit from upstream:
+ - 8231a0e63240 s390: Add z17 elf platform
+ 
+ [ Test Plan ]
+ 
+ Boot on a z17 instance and execute:
+ $ LD_SHOW_AUXV=1 id | grep AT_PLATFORM
+ 
+ This must return z17.
+ 
+ [ Where Problems Could Occur ]
+ 
+ The fix just adds some cases on a switch statement,
+ the regression potential therefore is really low.
