This option determines the size of UML kernel stacks. They will
be 1 << order pages. The default is OK unless you're running Valgrind
on UML, in which case, set this to 3.
+ It is possible to reduce the stack to 1 for 64BIT and 0 for 32BIT on
+ older (pre-2017) CPUs. It is not recommended on newer CPUs due to the
