It seems most problems with 4k stacks are already resolved at least
in -mm.
I'd like to see this patch to always use 4k stacks in -mm now for
finding any remaining problems before submitting this patch for Linus'
tree.

-config 4KSTACKS
- bool "Use 4Kb for kernel stacks instead of 8Kb"
- depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
- help
- If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the
- kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates
- running more threads on a system and also reduces the pressure
- on the VM subsystem for higher order allocations. This option
- will also use IRQ stacks to compensate for the reduced stackspace.
