Perhaps we could add a macro to assembler.h to correspond to __my_cpu_offset
in percpu.h?

Hmm. I'm not sure we necessarily want to push a frame when the interrupt
was taken from userspace. The unwinder will either explode (which should
be fixed separately) or truncate the walk anyway.

If we changed this so that we only push a frame when taking an interrupt
from EL1, could we then avoid pushing x19 as well and get the unwinder
to walk back through the pushed fp like it usually would?

For the case where we've come from EL0, we want to zero fp. I don't
*think* we need to push anything at all.

Thoughts?
