Fix the problem in kernel 2.6.15.1 (and early versions) that OProfile on x86_64 does not correctly collect the stack traces for kernel functions. The original code in valid_kernel_stack() in arch/i386/oprofile/backtrace.c assumes that the frame pointer (headaddr) should be greater than stack (i.e., regs). This assumption is wrong for x86_64 because NMIs in x86_64 use a seperate stack different from the kernel stack. Therefore, the variable stack now points to some location on the NMI stack, which turns out to be at a higher address than the frame pointer (headaddr) on the kernel stack. The correct comparison here should be between headaddr and regs->rsp for x86_64.
