Kinda, but what that code wants is to skip any entry before 'caller'. So we
either add something like save_stack_trace_from() which is trivial on x86
because unwind_start() already has an argument to hand in the start of
stack or we filter out the entries up to 'caller' in that code.

Btw, your patch will explode badly because stack_trace::entries is just a
pointer. It does not provide a storage array :)

Thanks,
