I suspect this should do a lot more testing.
Sure.

.. and this should check the frame for validity too.  At a minimum it
should be properly aligned, but things like "it had better be above
the current frame" to avoid having some loop would seem to be a good
idea.
Makes sense.
Maybe even check that it's the same vma?
Hmm, I call on to Jens Remus and ask if s390 can do anything whacky here?
Where something that isn't allowed on other architectures may be allowed
there? I know s390 has some strange type of stack usage.
