ARM Backtracing support

=== Goal ===
Writing firmware (specially without JTAG) can be error prone and one can have various kind of crashes (full stack, running out of memory, etc). Tools like mudflap, valrgind might not be usable. One thing that would help is to have a generic backtrace framework. On illegal memory access the ARM core will jump to a signal handler (e.g. data abort, illegal instruction, etc.) we should be able to branch to the error handler from there before the reset
