Set *addrp to the register offset hack (Otherwize something mysterious 
fails.  What? I don't remember).

Using the frame obstack for memory looks right.

This isn't right.  It should return DW_AT_frame_base.  However, since 
dwarf2expr.c doesn't yet use these methods it doesn't [?] really matter. 
  Only affects ``info frame''.

I suspect things like execute_stack_op might need more cleanups.  A dead 
target, or bad memory read, can throw an error.

Looks like the interface works (and oh so much cleaner than the old 
code) :-)
