Hi,

When backtracing a 64bit task on ppc64/Linux I notice we sometimes get
garbage for the PC:

#3  0xc00000006d337cd0 in ?? ()
#4  0x8822248200000001 in ?? ()
#5  0x4822248200000000 in ?? ()

Looking closer, it appears that gdb has missed the LR field and instead
got the CR field. On 32bit the LR is at SP + wordsize, however on 64bit
it is SP + 2*wordsize.

Knowing this I looked through the backtrace code and it looks like the
fallback is incorrect. If we fail to determine the stack layout
accurately we should make a guess based on the ABI. It turns out 
tdep->lr_frame_offset was created for this purpose, but isnt used
anywhere.

Look OK?

	* rs6000-tdep.c (rs6000_frame_cache): Use tdep->lr_frame_offset
	instead of wordsize when looking for the LR in a stack frame.
