Thank you for the update, Aditya.

Currently, gdb passthroughs of 'bt', 'frame', 'up', 'down', 'info
locals' don't work. This is due to gdb not knowing the register values to
unwind the stack frames
Every gdb passthrough goes through `gdb_interface`. And then, gdb expects
`crash_target::fetch_registers` to give it the register values, which is
dependent on `machdep->get_cpu_reg` to read the register values for
specific architecture.

Implement `machdep->get_cpu_reg` on PPC64, so that crash provides the
register values to gdb to unwind stack frames properly
With these changes, on powerpc, 'bt' command output in gdb mode, will look
like this:
gdb> bt

instead of earlier output without this patch:
gdb> bt
#0 <unavailable> in ?? ()
Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)
Also, 'get_dumpfile_regs' has been introduced to get registers from
multiple supported vmcore formats. Correspondingly a flag 'BT_NO_PRINT_REGS'
has been introduced to tell helper functions to get registers, to not
print registers with every call to backtrace in gdb.
Note: This feature to support GDB unwinding doesn't support live debugging

This is only invoked in ppc64 module, so it should be good to define
this function in the ppc64.c, and use the keywork 'static'.
Given that, no need to add it in defs.h.

The 'printf' and 'return FALSE' should not be reached. I guess this is debugging information, if 'yes', we can remove it this time.
