Um, rather than have multiple dwarf2 stack op executors, have one.
In order to do this, it needs to not require CFA context to be able to 
read registers.

No.
This is not his decision to make.
A lot of it is my code, unchanged (you can check the x86-64.org 
repository, for the huge change that replaced his code with mine)
He never gave me any credit when he contributed it, for some reason, 
probably because I never asked for it.
I've still got the email I sent him when he asked for the code, and i'm 
sure he'd be happy to confirm he used it.

From a legal standpoint, while the copyright is transfered to the FSF, the 
non-exclusive license they grant back to the contributors code should go 
to me as well as Jiri, not just to Jiri.  This is part of of the contract of the 
copyright assignment with the FSF.
Thus, in order to ensure this is possible (not that i plan on using the 
license for anything at the moment), i'm making sure it's clear that the 
code contributed was not soley Jiri's.  
So, that way, in the future, if I ever cared to license the code to 
someone else, or do something with it, I can without someone asserting 
it's only the FSF and Jiri's.
