Seems reasonable, though 'stack' is already initialized a few lines
above this, so it would be cleaner to do the PTR_ALIGN then.  Or even
better, just move it all to the for loop:

	for (stack = PTR_ALIGN(stack ? : get_stack_pointer(task, regs));
	     stack;
	     stack = PTR_ALIGN(stack_info.next_sp, sizeof(long))) {
