For example, using an alignment of double THREAD_SIZE can allow for stack overflows smaller than THREAD_SIZE to be detected by checking a single bit of the stack pointer. This patch allows architectures to override the alignment of VMAP'd stacks, by defining THREAD_ALIGN. Where not defined, this defaults to THREAD_SIZE, as is the case today.
