Yeah. Sorry about that. This is a debugging aid that identifies an exception on the stack. xmon recognizes the marker and identifies the exception frame in the stack trace. Other sub-architectures have it, but bookE is currently missing it. Ben, Torez, Is there any reason this patch is re-defining STACK_FRAME_REGS_MARKER rather than including asm/ptrace.h?
