arch/tile has a dump_stack() entry point in assembly (see 
arch/tile/kernel/entry.S) that passes to _dump_stack(), which passes to 
dump_stack_regs(), which passes to tile_show_stack().  Similarly, show_stack() 
passes to tile_show_stack(), which does lots of work to cross into userspace 
and continue showing the stack if possible, print symbol info for both kernel 
and userspace, etc.  I don't know if that's all supported fully in Tejun's 
generic version.

Would it make sense for me to look at this after it's merged up into -next and 
see what tile needs?  Unfortunately I'm taking off for a week's vacation so 
won't be able to do much until after the 23rd.
