This is a very simple method for code running in an emulator, or under
the supervision of a debugger, to use I/O facilities on the controlling
host.
Tested with OpenOCD, and ARM's Fast Models.

Enabled DEBUG_LL hardcodes the UART address into the kernel and results
in a non-portable kernel image. Since this option is only intended for
use when debugging early boot failures, supporting multiple platforms
in such a configuration is not the intended use-case.
This patch documents this limitation in the DEBUG_LL Kconfig help text,
so that users are aware of the portability restrictions that are associated
with enabling low-level debugging support.

Enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_LL (which is required for earlyprintk) hardwires
the debug UART address into the kernel, so that we can print before the
platform is initialised.
If the user inadvertently selects multiple platforms with DEBUG_LL
enabled, the UART address may not be correct and will likely cause the
kernel to hang in the very early stages of boot.
This patch, based on a skeleton from Russell, uses a Kconfig choice for
selecting the DEBUG_LL UART, therefore allowing the user to make a
choice about the supported platform when DEBUG_LL is enabled.

AMBA, and the other platforms (e.g. orion) might not be able to

Most arches define CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE exactly the same way. Move it
to lib/Kconfig.debug so each arch doesn't have to define it. This
obviously makes the option generic, but that's fine because the config is
already used in generic code.
It's not obvious to me that sysrq-P actually does anything caution by
keeping the most inclusive wording.

Add the options to enable the function graph tracer on ARM. Function
graph tracer support requires frame pointers, so exclude Thumb-2 and
also make sure FRAME_POINTER gets enabled when FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER is
used, since FUNCTION_TRACER doesn't "select FRAME_POINTER" when
ARM_UNWIND is used. Therefore, with GCC 4.4.0+, you get plain function
tracing without frame pointers, but you'll need them if you want
function graph tracing.

Trace output can then be decoded by a fairly simple open source tool [1]
