Philipp Rudo 60a2f03784 Add basic Linux kernel support
This patch implements a basic target_ops for Linux kernel support. In
particular it models Linux tasks as GDB threads such that you are able to
change to a given thread, get backtraces, disassemble the current frame
etc..

Currently the target_ops is designed only to work with static targets, i.e.
dumps. Thus it lacks implementation for hooks like to_wait, to_resume or
to_store_registers. Furthermore the mapping between a CPU and the
task_struct of the running task is only be done once at initialization. See
cover letter for a detailed discussion.

Nevertheless i made some design decisions different to Peter [1] which are
worth discussing. Especially storing the private data in a htab (or
std::unordered_map if i had the time...) instead of global variables makes
the code much nicer and less memory consuming.
