## User story
A majority of our s390x test runs for SLE Micro fail when testing kvm because most of the s390 workers do not have the required SIE (start-interpretive execution) CPU feature.
To solve this issue we would need another worker class, e.g. `s390-kvm-sle12-virt` for workers that hold this feature.
Support for this feature can be done by querying `/proc/cpuinfo` on the corresponding worker:
~~~
grep sie /proc/cpuinfo
~~~
## Acceptance criteria
* Add new worker class e.g. `s390-kvm-sle12-virt` for s390x workers with SIE support
## Tasks
* Add new worker class e.g. `s390-kvm-sle12-virt` for s390x workers with SIE support
## Further details
* The name `s390-kvm-sle12-virt` is a spontaneous suggestion and can be replace with a better fitting one
