All these checks are good checks but as you say there's more stuff that
we need to add (like your patch 2 here) so I'm slightly nervous about
actually setting the reliable flag here without even a comment.  Equally
well there's no actual use of this until arch_stack_walk_reliable() gets
implemented so it's not like it's causing any problems and it gives us
the structure to start building up the rest of the checks.

The other thing I guess is the question of if we want to bother flagging
frames as unrelaible when we return an error; I don't see an issue with
it and it may turn out to make it easier to do something in the future
so I'm fine with that.
