Definitely interesting.

It looks like there are two options based on discussion.
1) Reduce the stack size with separate IRQ stack scheme
2) Figure out a generic anti-fragmentation solution

Do I miss anything?

I am still not sure about the first scheme as reviewing Minchan's findings repeatedly,
but I agree that the item should be worked actively.
