Hi Arnd,

How about this one: (only THREAD_SIZE, no THREAD_ORDER&SHIFT.)

riscv: Add config of thread stack size

0cac21b02ba5 ("riscv: use 16KB kernel stack on 64-bit") increase the
thread size mandatory, but some scenarios, such as D1 with a small
memory footprint, would suffer from that. After independent irq stack
support, let's give users a choice to determine their custom stack size.
