I disagree, unwabi is exactly what we need for this.  The out of line
code is peculiar to Linux, and uses the Linux pt_regs to get the real
ar.pfs.  .unwabi 3,i indicates a Linux interrupt frame with all state
in pt_regs, .unwabi 3,o indicates a Linux out of line frame with
pt_regs.ar_pfs containing the real ar.pfs.  If unwabi 3,i is valid then
so is unwabi 3,o.
