    UBUNTU: [Config] CONFIG_UNWINDER_FRAME_POINTER=y for amd64
    
    During the rebase to 4.15 UNWINDER_ORC was chosen as the stack
    unwinder as it promises a 5-10% performance improvement over
    using UNWINDER_FRAME_POINTER. However it turns out to have a
    couple of downsides. It adds a new requierment for building dkms
    modules, and it does not produce the reliable stack traces
    required for livepatch. Switch back to UNWINDER_FRAME_POINTER.
