#define STACK_TOP_MAX TASK_SIZE
#define TASK_SIZE       (is_compat_task() ? TASK_SIZE_32 : TASK_SIZE_64)

So, this change limits an address in 2^32 for compat mode, and your
patch broke the rule. So that is why we need this patch to fix up.

Yes, I agree with this change and use Zjpm with PLEN=48 to optimize
them in the future.
