	unwinding is disabled

A patch to this effect is already queued in -mm (and perhaps also in Andi's tree). Jan

>>> Mikael Pettersson <mikpe@...uu.se> 21.09.06 09:12 >>>
Compiling kernel 2.6.18 on x86_64 with CONFIG_STACK_UNWIND=n gives:

arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c: In function 'show_trace':
arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c:287: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size

This is because UNW_SP() evaluates to 0, of type int, which
is cast to a pointer by traps.c. Fix: evaluate to 0UL instead.
