This creates per-architecture function arch_within_stack_frames() that
should validate if a given object is contained by a kernel stack frame.
Initial implementation is on x86.
This is based on code from PaX.

+ An architecture should select this if it can walk the kernel stack
+ frames to determine if an object is part of either the arguments
+ or local variables (i.e. that it excludes saved return addresses,
+ and similar) by implementing an inline arch_within_stack_frames(),
