Okay, after some research, I think I figured out how to get at the needed
Alpha registers:
register unsigned long fptr __asm__("$15"); /* get frame pointer? */
register unsigned long sptr __asm__("$30"); /* get stack pointer? */
Now, my understanding of the problem is that I need to go back two frames on
the stack to get the PC of interest, and three for the RA of interest. How do I
do this? I haven't had much luck yet trying to figure out how to navigate the
kernel stack. I see the pt_regs structure, but I'm not exactly sure how to
figure the frame size, since that can vary with each frame.
