[PATCH v4 2/2] perf probe: Add PowerPC DWARF register number mappings

From: Ian Munsie <imunsie at au.ibm.com>

This patch adds mappings from the register numbers from DWARF to the
register names used in the PowerPC Regs and Stack Access API. This
allows perf probe to be used to record variable contents on PowerPC.

This patch depends on functionality in the powerpc/next tree, though it
will compile fine without it. Specifically this patch depends on commit
"powerpc: Add kprobe-based event tracer"
