PATCH 1/1 UML - fix x86_64 with !CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER

This is a must-fix for 2.6.14. UML/x86_64 doesn't run when built with frame pointers disabled. There was an implicit frame pointer assumption in the stub segfault handler. With frame pointers disabled, UML dies on handling its first page fault.

The container-of part of this is from Paolo Giarrusso <[email protected]>.
