powerpc64: port of the function graph tracer

This is a port of the function graph tracer that was written by
Frederic Weisbecker for the x86.

This only works for PPC64 at the moment and only for static tracing.
PPC32 and dynamic function graph tracing support will come later.

The trace produces a visual calling of functions:

 # tracer: function_graph
 #
 # CPU  DURATION                  FUNCTION CALLS
 # |     |   |                     |   |   |   |

  0)   6.864 us    |                  }
