The support is pretty straightforward: issue print_preempt_trace()
just after the call trace.

Without CONFIG_PREEMPT_TRACE=y the print_preempt_trace() call turns
into no-op.

Here it is. "ftrace: On PowerPC we don't need frame pointers for
CALLER_ADDRs" patch (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/31/141) is also
needed for this to work.
