Sadly you over estimated us here :-) We do 16K *and* irq stacks on
64-bit ... Remember our ABI with it's 112 bytes minimum per frame ?

It's been a while since I've last audited our actual usage mind you, we
*might* be able to reduce it but at this stage, since our typical
configs use a 64K base page size, it's not a big deal (ie, it's not an
order-N allocation).

Cheers,
Ben.
