[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.
