If you have frame pointers enabled, the backtrace is _never_ wrong.
It only goes wrong if you disable frame pointers, at which point the
unwind tables have to be used.

Please don't invent yet another way of dumping stuff out of the kernel.
What we already have is sufficient for your needs - there's no reason
