Subject: [PATCH -v2 2/4] x86: check stack overflow in detail

Currently, only kernel stack is checked for the overflow, which is
not sufficient for systems that need a high reliability. To enhance
it, it is required to check the IRQ and exception stacks, as well.

This patch checks all the stack types and will cause messages of
stacks in detail when free stack space drops below a certain
limit except user stack.
