I noticed that Ski was unable to do a stacktrace on the kernel.  Turns
out that's because the PT_IA_64_UNWIND program-header is missing.
Perhaps this is due to a change in binutils, but in any case, it seems
like we should be explicit about the unwind header, so this patch is
probably a good idea no matter what.  Note that the patch assumes that
the earlier patch to add a PT_NOTE header has been applied already.

Regards,

[IA64] Explicitly put the unwind section into its own program-header.  This
       used to be unnecessary (probably because binutils did it for us), but
       with current binutils (e.g., v2.17.50.20070804) we won't get
       the PT_IA_64_UNWIND header without this patch which will break
       unwinding in a debugger and simulators such as Ski.
