    x86: Always use irq stacks · 7974891d
    Christoph Hellwig authored
    IRQ stacks provide much better safety against unexpected stack use from
    interrupts, at the minimal downside of slightly higher memory usage.
    Enable irq stacks also for the default 8k stack on 32-bit kernels to
    minimize the problem of stack overflows through interrupt activity.
    
    This is what the 64-bit kernel and various other architectures already do.
