Hi; apologies for the delay -- my time had been consumed by
FPSIMD/SVE/SME fixes and related non-upstream stuff for the last few
weeks, and now I'm catching up.

For the stacktrace side, I'm happy with enabling this without sframe,
and I hase some minor nits which we can either fix up now or as a
follow-up. I'll cover those in another reply, and chase up the module /
code-patching bit shortly.

Mark.
