Subject: [PATCH 2/5] unwind, x86: Generate exception frames data for UNWIND_EH_FRAME option

Adding support to compile in eh_frame_hdr/eh_frame unwind
data. Plus several symbols to properly access this data.

	__eh_frame_hdr_start
	__eh_frame_hdr_end
	__eh_frame_start
	__eh_frame_end

Adding this for x86 arch, tested for x86_64 only.
