Yeah, in fact if we want a kind a arch agnostic graph stack walker,
we could make it an iterator.

(Modifying print_ftrace_graph_addr a bit)

static unsigned long
walk_ftrace_graph_stack(unsigned long addr,
			struct task_struct *task, int *idx)
{
	unsigned long ret_addr;
	int index = task->curr_ret_stack;

	if (addr != (unsigned long)return_to_handler)
		return -ENOENT;

	if (!task->ret_stack || index < *idx)
		return -ENOENT;

	index -= *idx;
	ret_addr = task->ret_stack[index].ret;

	(*idx)++;

	return ret_addr;
}

Hmm?

I can make it in tracing/core but I fear it won't be available
for the sparc tree until .35
