The ftrace_regs_caller, the kprobe tramplines, the unwinder, they all
have 'funny' bits because pt_regs isn't 'right'.

It's a detail that leaks into the C code. Yes SWAPGS is horrible crap,
but C code doesn't much care. The partial pt_regs thing otoh comes up a
fair number of times.
Anyway; I think we're at the point where we'll have to agree to
disagree (or maybe slightly past it).
