This is an > increase of 2Kb compared to 2.4. It has been asked couple of times before in this context and no one cared to answer: Using 4k stacks may have advantages, but what compelling reasons are there to drop the choice of 4k/8k stacks? You can make 4k stacks default, but why throw away the option of 8k stacks, especially since the impact of this option on the kernel implementation is very little?
