Whoops; I'll fix that up now.

That is already the case without these patches, as we have:
#ifdef CONFIG_ARM64_4K_PAGES
#define THREAD_SIZE_ORDER 2
#elif defined(CONFIG_ARM64_16K_PAGES)
#define THREAD_SIZE_ORDER 0
#endif
... this is also deliberate, as we'd need an order of -2 with 16K stacks and
64K pages, and this doesn't make sense.
THREAD_SIZE_ORDER only matters if THREAD_SIZE >= PAGE_SIZE (or if we're using a
VMAP'd stack). For 64K pages && VMAP_STACK, we'll use a 64K stack, avoiding the
problem.
Thanks,
Mark.
