[PATCH] x86_64: reliable stack trace support
These are the generic bits needed to enable reliable stack traces based on Dwarf2-like (.eh_frame) unwind information. Subsequent patches will enable x86-64 and i386 to make use of this. Thanks to Andi Kleen and Ingo Molnar, who pointed out several possibilities for improvement.

If you say Y here the resulting kernel image will be slightly larger
but not slower, and it will give very useful debugging information.
If you don't debug the kernel, you can say N, but we may not be able
to solve problems without frame unwind information or frame pointers.
