Just guessing something like the patch below, not more that that, but
without the bugs ;-). Haven't tested at all, so it will probably
fall apart, but give it a try if you like.

Subject: powerpc: support for latencytop

Implement save_stack_trace_tsk on powerpc, so that we can run with
latencytop.
