That way might be a bit better, but anyways I think they are not
very robust for kernel changes and various interrupts.

I've been working on enhancing the usage of ORC data and currently
it's to determine the frame size of functions, but probably we
will also be able to find pt_regs more exactly with the data.
Until it finishes, let's use this way.


Sounds like a good idea. Looking forward to implementing it in the next release.

Thanks.
