Make the stack size configurable now that we can fallback to vmalloc if
necessary. SGI NUMA configurations may need more stack because cpumasks
and nodemasks are at times kept on the stack. With the coming 16k cpu
support this is going to be 2k just for the mask. This patch allows to
run with 16k or 32k kernel stacks on x86_74.
