Why does the kernel need to be limited to 4K? for kernel preemption?

No, because it makes a whole lot of things simpler and more reliable if the kernel stack is only one page.


Someone needs to fix this. It's busted. It makes porting code between Windows and Linux and other OS's difficult to support.

Ease of porting drivers written for other OSes to Linux is clearly not a high priority for the kernel community..
