Almost. It returns the equivalent data as contained in the unwind

serves the same purpose, yese.

Longer-term, certainly. But in the medium term (I'd say for the next
1-2 years at least), we need the syscall support for the many (older)
kernels that are out there already. Only 2.6-based kernels will have
the DSO.
