> 1) It all can be reduced to 4K + 4K by asuming all IRQ happen on one CPU.

no it's separate stacks for soft and hard irqs, so it's really 4+4+4


another angle is that while correctness rules, userspace correctness
rules as well. If you can't fork enough threads for what you need the
machine for, why have the machine in the first place?
