So, I committed that diff, and have been looking at what happens
w.r.t. stack frame setup on interrupts.  All we seem to do is to
set sp to the top of task_struct (if in a user context), or move
sp up by a struct pt_regs if in kernel space.  In both cases,
those values are rounded up (TASK_SZ_ALGN and PT_SZ_ALIGN), so
there would probably be some space below sp, but should get_stack
be explicity allocating a stack frame really?
