Hmm, I thought I saw some patches from Milian for this earlier,
but now I can't find them. Perhaps I misremember. Milian
can point to them if they exist and are not just a figment
of my imagination :-)

These were the changes to report the stack frame RIP/RSP in the PEBS
handler and use it for unwinding in perf.
