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..
