Patch?

I know I have used /proc/<pid>/stack manually many times when looking
at a system where something is hung/weird and I needed to see what is
going on.  The backtrace inside the kernel can be invaluable.

At the same time I don't know if we actually need the hex address.
But please don't break that interface it is very useful.
