All those stacks (except user space) are working the same way.  That's why it
is sufficient to only add one unwinder.  In theory it is sufficient to only
distinguish three cases (KERNEL, INVALID and "OTHER") but for the sake of
completeness I also added the other possible cases.  This makes the code only a
little longer but makes extending it (e.g. to compensate a bug as been done for
the kernel stack) much easier.
