Subject: powerpc stacktrace and lockdep support

I recently tried to work on lockdep for powerpc.  I have preliminary
version of the stacktrace code, but had to give up on trace irqflags
support because I'm not that knowledgeable on lowlevel ppc details.

Maybe someone more faimilar with the code wants to give it another try?

My stacktrace code is below:
