If you are seeing issues with the current stack size, can you please
explain that in more detail? Where are you seeing problems? Which
configuration options do you have selected?
I'm not keen on making kernel stack sizes configurable as it's not
currently possible for the person building the kernel to figure out a
safe size (and if this were possible, it's be better to handle this
automatically).
If the stack size is too small in some configurations I think we need to
ensure that it is appropriately sized regardless of whether the person
building the kernel believes they can identify a reasonable size.

How are you certain of this?

This is definitely going to be confused with THREAD_ALIGN, so if we do
go ahead with this, the naming will need work.
Thanks,
Mark.
