Subject[PATCH] m68knommu : clear frame-pointer in start_thread
When trying to print the calltrace of a user process on m68knommu targets
gdb follows the frame-pointer and falls on unreachable adresses, because
the frame pointer is not properly initialised by start_thread. This patch
initialises the frame pointer to NULL in start_thread.

Signed-off-by: Philippe De Muyter <phdm@macqel.be>

---
the only real change is the initialisation of a6, the rest is spacing fixes
	((struct switch_stack *)(_regs))[-1].a6 = 0;
