Also, add unwind-table options to ensure the necessary CFI directives are emitted by the compiler, but discard .eh_frame unless CONFIG_UNWIND_TABLES is explicitly enabled. This will be used for in-kernel reliable stacktrace in cases where the frame pointer alone is insufficient. Currently, the sframe format only supports arm64, x86_64 and s390x architectures.
