Should be done for all architectures, methinks.

If so, an appropriate way to do that would be to do
s/dump_stack/arch_dump_stack/ and do a single all-arch implementation of
dump_stack().  (Where we might add new goodies in the future).

Problem is that this will add a new an pointless entry to all the stack
dumps, unless the arch_dump_stack() implementation is smart enough to skip the
innermost frame.
