It looks like the unwinder got confused because of a kprobe breakpoint
at the beginning of the kprobe_target() function.

At least it only read a bad address *on* the stack.  It didn't go off
beyond the stack -- it has safeguards for that.

I don't think there's a good solution for this, unless we had some kind
of unwinder integration with generated/patched code.

I think I'll just have to disable KASAN warnings in the ORC code.
