[PATCH 19/19] [INCOMPLETE] ARM: make return_address available for ARM_UNWIND

From: sahara <keun-o.park at windriver.com>

This is a reminder that we still need to fix the return_address
function to work correctly with the unwinder. Keun-O Park has
made this attempt in the past, which is still under discussion[1],
and Dave Martin has also mentioned that he would provide a
solution for this problem.

Right now, this patch makes the warning go away and provides
an implementation of return_address for the arm unwinder, but
causes other problems, so we should *not* apply it. I will
keep sending this patch until we have a better solution.

[1] http://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/11/493

Original changelog:

This fixes a warning saying:

    warning: #warning "TODO: return_address should use unwind tables"

And, this enables return_address using unwind information. If ARM_UNWIND is
selected, unwind_frame in unwind.c will be called in walk_stackframe.
