    kboot: Save the upper limit of the call stack.
    
    The location of argc argument is a fine limit for the extent of the
    stack traceback. We could save the location of return address for the
    call to _start_c, but we'd have to move that into MD assembler. While
    not hard, it wouldn't improve the traces we can get. And the math to
    find it is architecture dependent (though the same for both arm64 and
    amd64).
