I'm okay with the printing part, but you're also using this to prevent
infinite looping.  Will this cause the unwind to fail if we go debug
-> page fault -> debug or similar?  (Or whatever actually uses the
deeper debug stacks?  I figured this out once and then forgot exactly
what's going on.  I really need to dust off my patches that stop using
IST for #DB.)
