x86: be even more careful about checking the stack frame on dumping
lguest didn't initialize the kernel stack the way a real i386 kernel does, and ended up triggering a corner-case in the stack frame checking that doesn't happen on naive i386, and that the stack dumping didn't handle quite right. This makes the frame handling more correct, and tries to clarify the code at the same time so that it's a bit more obvious what is going on. Thanks to Rusty Russell for debugging the lguest failure- Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
