This is a head scratcher.  The ORC data looks ok, at least when I build
it on my system.  It's expecting to find pt_regs at the top of the stack
after returning from sysvec_call_function_single().  But it can't
dereference the regs for some reason.

So either it's a bug in ORC data or unwinder (not likely) or the stack
pointer got corrupted somehow (also seems unlikely)...
