Subject: [PATCH][2.6-mm] Fix 4G/4G w/ 8k+ stacks

The 4/4 code right now is setup for 8k stacks, this patch should allow for
arbitrary stack sizes. Some parts are rather ugly (e.g. STACK_PAGE_COUNT)
so (abusive too) comments are welcome.

I've tested it with 4k,8k and 16k stacks on UP and SMP, but i believe it
breaks with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC

This looks like it wants to be:

#define STACK_PAGE_COUNT (PAGE_ALIGN(THREAD_SIZE)/PAGE_SIZE)

(There are reasons to want THREAD_SIZE < PAGE_SIZE having to do with
elevating PAGE_SIZE as opposed to shrinking THREAD_SIZE outright.)

It looks like kmap_types.h should inherits PAGE_* from processor.h
which in turn should inherit them from page.h

Did the headers barf on this or something? I can't imagine you didn't
think of it already.

Ah yes, i forgot about that case thanks for pointing it out.

Yes it does inherit PAGE_*, but i needed to specify the same thing in
processor.h so i made it one define to make grepping easier and the
intention more obvious.
