SubjectRe: [2.6 patch] i386: always use 4k stacks

Enough already! These concerns have been raised already, and found
to be insufficient. There are several points:

1) ndiswrapper is broken already, and works sheerly by luck anyways;
NT stacks are 12kb, so you're already asking for stack overflows by
using it.
2) ndiswrapper encourages use of binary drivers instead of the open-
source ones that need the testers, so you're only hurting yourselves
in the long run.
3) All the in-kernel problems have been fixed, and this makes a lot
of stuff less fragmentation-prone and more reliable.

Does anybody have any _in_kernel_ bugreports which are unaddressed,
or maybe something out-of-kernel that is not handled by the above
points?

Cheers,
Kyle Moffett
