Steven J. Magnani ce3266c047 microblaze: Add stack unwinder
Implement intelligent backtracing by searching for stack frame creation,
and emitting only return addresses. Use print_hex_dump() to display the
entire binary kernel stack.

Limitation: MMU kernels are not currently able to trace beyond a system trap
(interrupt, syscall, etc.). It is the intent of this patch to provide
infrastructure that can be extended to add this capability later.

Changes from V1:
* Removed checks in find_frame_creation() that prevented location of the frame
  creation instruction in heavily optimized code
* Various formatting/commenting/file location tweaks per review comments
* Dropped Kconfig option to enable STACKTRACE as something logically separate

Michal Simek 24b45a12c2 microblaze: Stack trace support
This is working implemetation but the problem is that
Microblaze misses frame pointer that's why is there
big loop which trace and show all addresses which are in text.
It shows addresses which are in registers, etc.

This is problem and this is the reason why all Microblaze
traces are wrong. There is an option to do hacks and trace
the kernel code but this is too complicated.
