Took a while (I'll probably be typing "test_regression.sh" in my sleep
tonight) but I've bisected it down to f95b23a112f1 ("Merge branch
'x86/urgent' into x86/asm, to pick up dependent fixes").

I think I saw the default option for stack unwinder change from frame
pointers -> ORC so that may be the root cause. Not sure, though. Need to
look more closely at the commits in the merge commit.
