Can we have an option to just use dwarf instead? For people
who don't want to waste a MB+ to solve a problem that doesn't
exist (as proven by many years of opensuse kernel experience)

As far as I can tell this whole thing has only downsides compared
to the dwarf unwinder that was earlier proposed. I don't see
a single advantage.
