Too bad the kernel stack frame at this point is so small [we are just 
before return to userspace], so we don't really get our usual trace of 
recent activities via the '?' entries ...

It would be nice to have a full-kernel-stack backtrace printout as an 
option, which prints entries 'above' the current RSP.

I've Cc:-ed Frederic, maybe he has interest in implementing that?

Thanks,
