powerpc: Allow the max stack trace depth to be configured

Browse Source 
On my screen, when something crashes, I only have space for maybe 16
functions of the stack trace before the information above it scrolls
off the screen.  It's easy to hack the kernel to print out only that
much, but it's harder to remember to do it.  This introduces a config
option for it so that I can keep the setting in my config.

This option allows you to set the stack depth that the kernel
prints in stack traces. This can be useful if your display is
too small and stack traces cause important information to
scroll off the screen.
