Arjan van de Ven 6dab27784b x86: add a simple backtrace test module
During the work on the x86 32 and 64 bit backtrace code I found it useful
to have a simple test module to test a process and irq context backtrace.
Since the existing backtrace code was buggy, I figure it might be useful
to have such a test module in the kernel so that maybe we can even
detect such bugs earlier..
