No, we could definitely handle it by giving new names to the changed
functions.  However, come to think of it, this is probably something
we can handle with library and/or name-versioning.  Since we're just
talking about changes interfaces within two libunwind-libraries, the
risk of there being a problem is small anyhow.

So, my suggestion would be that you work up a patch that adds the
address-space argument and I'll then worry about the versioning magic
needed to ensure there is no ABI breakage.
