Two things:
- I've looked harder, and I still don't see some pre-exiting get pt_regs
off the stack func / macro. But it would probably be generally useful
since it _looks_ like there's few places it could be used. Or maybe I
misread something and just missed it (not being an i386 person, it's
possible :))
- The current plan for KGDB stuffs is to punt on the thread stuffs for
now anyhow, so we can look at this again later.
