thanks!

ok, indeed testing of that is in order now.
I'll check what the worst-case runtime stack footprint is for an
allyesconfig 64-bit bootup - that should be the worst-case scenario on
x86. We have a low number of leftover places, but the serious ones like
the IPI paths, which triggered stack overflows in the past, got all fixed.
The test is underway with:
CONFIG_64BIT=y
CONFIG_NR_CPUS=4096
CONFIG_MAXSMP=y
