It is sufficient to increase SYS_HEAPSZ, there is no private stack pool
anymore, since Xenomai kthreads are now fully mapped over regular
kthreads. i.e. we don't have to allocate stacks for our kernel threads,
we simply inherit the kernel stack underlying the new regular kthread.

The doc was fixed accordingly. Thanks for the heads up.
