Please put such new data type definitions not into the middle of a .c file but
next to where struct stack_frame is defined.

Single-use - should be inline i guess.

Please put newlines after local variable definition so that they are clearly
delimited.

Also, the tabulation is weird - please run it through scripts/checkpatch.pl.

This whole new block should probably be in a helper inline?

Also, it should probably be #ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT or so.

Thanks,
