Attached is a trivial patch that makes stack-unwinding stop at the
last frame of the bootloader.

[IA64] Add a dummy nop at the end of _start() to maintain the invariant that
       the return-pointer (rp) always point to the calling function.  This
       makes unwinding stop at the last frame, as it should.
