Actually, most of this was fixed in -current by SMPng, by moving interrupt
threads to having seperate stacks.  The KSE code affects this by moving the
non-pcb part of struct user into a seperate location, which caused only
about 600 bytes to be stolen instead of 3000+.  I moved things around so
that the pcb is above the stack and there is an unmapped guard page below
the stack so that we are pretty well guaranteed to get a double fault on a
stack overflow.

Cheers,
-Peter
