AFAIK many people are interested in this feature and it has been discussed 
before but nobody actually offered a patch until now. Last thread I am aware of 
is this one: 
https://www.redhat.com/archives/crash-utility/2010-February/msg00055.html

Admittedly, that thread is just about extracting an userland backtrace. Maybe 
your patch can be adapted to add a "btu" command (or maybe "bt -u") to extract 
an userland backtrace directly?

Thank you very much anyway :)
