[PATCH] x86-64: Speed up dwarf2 unwinder
This changes the dwarf2 unwinder to do a binary search for CIEs
instead of a linear work. The linker is unfortunately not
able to build a proper lookup table at link time, instead it creates
one at runtime as soon as the bootmem allocator is usable (so you'll continue
using the linear lookup for the first [hopefully] few calls).
The code should be ready to utilize a build-time created table once
a fixed linker becomes available.
