Good question. They are indeed used for the exact same thing. I just
didn't realize they were till now. Somehow I was working on the function
table issue and the unwind issue separately. It certainly makes sense to
have just one hook. Especially because ARM is the only backend using
them at the moment. I'll rework both patches/hooks into one.
Thanks,
