very nice!

If it does stack walking manually then please update it to use 
save_stack_trace() instead - that is the standard API that will 
utilize the best possible stack walking machinery on the architecture 
level.

For security reasons we want it to be admin-only readable, and we also 
want a .config for it for the extra paranoid and for CONFIG_EMBEDDED.
