[RFC PATCH v2 11/24] unwind_user/eh_frame: Wire up unwind_user to eh_frame

From: Jens Remus

Date: Fri Aug 21 2026 - 15:58:32 EST


Now that the eh_frame infrastructure is fully in place, make it work by
hooking it up to the unwind_user interface.

Based on Josh Poimboeuf's, Steven Rostedt's, and my unwind user sframe
implementation.
