This patch implements it for the rest of the architectures by filling the pages with poison byte patterns after free_pages() and verifying the poison patterns before alloc_pages(). This generic one cannot detect invalid page accesses immediately but invalid read access may cause invalid dereference by poisoned memory and invalid write access can be detected after a long delay.

They aren't too useful for the kernel since we have already the kernel stack backchain which allows us to walk the kernel stack. So eleminate the extra code for frame pointers. Only allow the extra code for the function tracer since the gcc compile options -pg and -fomit-frame-pointer are incompatible.

We re-named 'DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG' to 'DYNAMIC_DEBUG' in 2.6.30.... 'PRINTK_DEBUG' as pointed out never existed. So, it appears to be extraneous, and should be removed. thanks for pointing it out.
