Make the stack size configurable now that we can fallback to vmalloc if necessary. SGI NUMA configurations may need more stack because cpumasks and nodemasks are at times kept on the stack. With the coming 16k cpu support this is going to be 2k just for the mask. This patch allows to run with 16k or 32k kernel stacks on x86_74.
