From: Behan Webster <behanw at converseincode.com>
Use the frame pointer to calculate the end of the stack for current_pt_regs()
The existing code uses the stack pointer to do this calculation.
Using the frame pointer yeilds the same value in a more portable way.
This change supports being able to compile the kernel with gcc and clang.
