Right -- it wouldn't be a "better fix", but rather the "only fix" that's going to be acceptable.

Does the new kernel that has the name changes end up using the initial attempts to set the size, esp and ebp offsets? Or does it always end up using the "if (!VALID_STRUCT())" section? It's only going to use one or the other, depending upon whether the user_regs_struct gets exported-to/included-in the debuginfo data.
