(What exactly does CFA mean.  I know what you're refering to, just not 
the acronym).

I don't think a stack is applicable here.  As you move between frames 
the debug info could change and the get_saved_register() functions 
should adapt accordingly.  Having a stack would imply a specific 
heirichy and that isn't correct in this case.
