I'm happy with this, or with using ftrace_regs and capturing more regs here.

This overall looks good, but there's one functional issue and a couple of minor
nits which I've detailed below.

As a minor nit, for ftrace_regs we used `unsigned long` rather than `u64`;
could we do the same here for consistency?

This will need to be padded to 16 bytes, as within the kernel, arm64 requires
the SP to be aligned to 16 bytes at all time. Please can you add an `__unused`
field, like we have in ftrace_regs, to ensure that?

As above, this will need to be padded to keep the stack aligned to 16 bytes,
and I'd prefer if we could use asm-offsets so that we can have something like:

	sub	sp, sp, #FRET_REGS_SIZE
	stp	x0, x1, [sp, #FRET_REGS_X0]
	stp	x2, x3, [sp, #FRET_REGS_X2]
	stp	x4, x5, [sp, #FRET_REGS_X4]
	stp	x6, x7, [sp, #FRET_REGS_X6]
	str	x29, [sp, FRET_REGS_FP]

Likewise here.

Other than that, this looks good to me, thanks for respinning!

Thanks,
Mark.
