Use ARCH_INIT_USER_FP_FRAME to describe how frame pointers are unwound
on x86, and enable CONFIG_HAVE_UNWIND_USER_FP accordingly so the
unwind_user interfaces can be used.

Moo, and now you have me look at unwind/user.c:

        /* Make sure that the address is word aligned */
        shift = sizeof(long) == 4 ? 2 : 3;
        if (cfa & ((1 << shift) - 1))
                return -EINVAL;

Isn't that just:

	if (cfa & (sizeof(long) - 1))

?

Let me go add a patch to clean that up...
