frame unwinder patches

Hello,

up to 2.6.22 the -mm series had these nice frame unwinder patches,
which gave beautiful stack traces. Unfortunately these frame unwinder patches
seem to have been dropped :(

Anyone still maintaining updated patches?

Here is an example of a horrible stack trace, confusing my eyes

Probably all the "?" lines shouldn't be printed.

Bernd
