Hi,

The kernel documentation says that any function that uses more than 512
bytes on the stack is a candidate for change.

However, it doesn't say under what conditions (what config options).

I found 193 functions matching, some with stacks quite larger than that.
I suspect this could be the result of some config options, maybe.

What would you recommend me checking?
