Actually there's more scope for cleanup here. The while signal frame stuff is not
relevant here at all as this is only kernel stack frames. So all of
frame->call_frame stuff is bogus at best.

I once had an branch with ~15 patches to clean this all up. Let me go find it.

Curious though about the CC list, is this patch part of a bigger series or some
such. So many people from all over suddenly interested in ARC ;-)
