Hmm, the new model is that the unwinder shall return register values 
exactly as if there were no more inner frame.
No additional adjustment necessary.

Perhaphs that model needs to be revisited, or adjusted slightly.

For the moment, add a comment to ia64 pop-frame explaining what happens. 
 Once the basic changes are in place, it will be easier to revisit this.
