- * X86_32 CPUs don't save ss and esp if the CPU is already in kernel mode
- * when it traps. The previous stack will be directly underneath the saved
- * registers, and 'sp/ss' won't even have been saved. Thus the '&regs->sp'.
- *
- * Now, if the stack is empty, '&regs->sp' is out of range. In this
- * case we try to take the previous stack. To always return a non-null
- * stack pointer we fall back to regs as stack if no previous stack
- * exists.
- *
- * This is valid only for kernel mode traps.
