Kernel thread stack size

[Paul Ambrose]

#define PAGE_SHIFT 12
#define PAGE_SIZE  (1<<PAGE_SHIFT)

#define KSTACK_PAGES 2
#define KSTACK_GUARD_PAGES 2

I had a MIPS machine (Loongson 3A) with page size 16KB( could be 4KB, but
had to handle cache alias in OS), IMHO,  define KSTACK_PAGE to 1 is enough,
 what is your opinion?
