PA-RISC (which has an upwards-gorwing stack) bases this off RLIMIT_STACK.
By default, we set it to 80MB. Of course, sshd likes to set it to -1
(unlimited), so we limit it to 1GB. ia64 will presumably want to be
more generous in its clamping value.
I think this is all in the 2.5 tree now; if not you can pick up a recent
pa patch at ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ports/parisc/v2.5/
and look for it. 90% of that diff is drivers/input, so it's not much
to look through.
