You named one as _fallback...

... and the other as _fb, make it consistent, please.

Can we avoid having this strcmp be done repeatedly? I.e. just make this
a boolean initialized at session start, when machine->env is setup, so
we'd have:

   machine->single_address_space

Instead of a function?

Also have you considered making this fallback to be performed only from
code that is that arch specific?

I.e. the code that supports branch samples/stacks is x86_86 specific at
this point and thus only in that case we would call the routines that
perform the fallback, which, in turn, wouldn't need to check for
"sparc"?
