powerpc64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference

We are moving towards separate kernel and module function descriptor
dereference callbacks. This patch enables it for powerpc64.

For pointers that belong to the kernel
-  Added __start_opd and __end_opd pointers, to track the kernel
   .opd section address range;

-  Added dereference_kernel_function_descriptor(). Now we
   will dereference only function pointers that are within
   [__start_opd, __end_opd);

For pointers that belong to a module
-  Added dereference_module_function_descriptor() to handle module
   function descriptor dereference. Now we will dereference only
   pointers that are within [module->opd.start, module->opd.end).
