I think this is a good change, and even in the normal case it will place
the stacktrace closer to the rest of the recovery information.
But, I think it would make more sense to put the stacktrace into the
struct eeh_event, rather than the struct eeh_pe. Is there some reason
we can't do that? (It would save a fair bit of memory!)
Cheers,
Sam.
