I guess I'm going to turn that macro in a no-op for the
sparc. Maybe this particular trap can actually be handled without
much fuss in kernel mode, but I'm slowly beginning to dread these
presumptuous ``__builtin_*''s.
No need to no-op it, just make a special path of execution within
locore for the from-kernel case of "ta 3". You do nwindows saves and
restores unconditionally. __builtin_return_address(x) is a very
useful debugging feature in the kernel.
