The Frame Pointer register is used in "__switch_context_nosave" (switch.S) which is called at the end of
the startup sequence (entry.S). This register should be initialized before use.
(The SparcV8 standard states, page 75 : "Supervisor software may not assume that any particular
processor or memory state, except for the PSR’s ET and S bits, has been initialized after a reset trap."
