RFR(L): 8049716: PPC64: Implement SA on Linux/PPC64

[Alexander Smundak]

The changes for agent/src/os/linux/symtab.c
b/agent/src/os/linux/symtab.c in
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~simonis/webrevs/8049716 will break
Linux/PPC64 little-endian:
it uses ABIv2, which dropped function descriptors. So the preprocessor
brackets in it should
read
#if defined(ppc64) && !defined(ABI_ELFv2)
instead of just
#if defined(ppc64)

Sorry for the late notice.
