From: John David Anglin dave.anglin@bell.net

[ Upstream commit da57c5414f49ef9e4bcb9ae0bbafd1d650b31411 ]

In testing, I found that the thread stack can be 16 kB when using an irq stack. Without it, the thread stack needs to be 32 kB. Currently, the irq stack is 32 kB. While it probably could be 16 kB, I would prefer to leave it as is for safety.
