Yes, this is a starting point.
The patch (and current mips get_wchan() implementation) tries to do is
what I used to do to analyze stack dump by hand.
1. Determine PC and SP.
2. Disassemble a function containing the PC address.
3. If the function is leaf, make use RA for new PC.
This was always the tricky part for me. How do you know if the function
is a leaf?
