(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.
