Subject: [Linux-ia64] Unwind problem for __attribute__ noreturn

panic() is defined as __attribute__ ((noreturn)).  Either gcc is
generating invalid unwind data for this attribute or the kernel unwind
code is mishandling the data.  To reproduce, set a kdb breakpoint on
panic() and call panic.  The stack is valid but kdb gets invalid data
from the unwind routines and prints gibberish.  Removing noreturn gives
a correct backtrace, at the expense of some extra "control reachs end
of non-void function" messages.
