(FYI, Ulrich came up with the theory.  Yes it works well -> keeps each 
unwinder focused and simple (far cry from the old way :-)).

It's ok as is (with coding tweaks).  One option, though is to instead of:

use frame_unwind_prepend_unwinder() which addresses the ordering 
problem.  If you want to convert things, it's pre-approved.
