But from what I can tell, trampoline_handler() hard-codes regs->ip to
point to kretprobe_trampoline(), and the original return address is
placed in regs->sp.

Masami, is there a reason why regs->ip doesn't have the original return
address and regs->sp doesn't have the original SP?  I think that would
help the unwinder understand things.
