Btw, I also think that Mel's patch could be made a lot _less_ magic by just marking that initial stack vma with a VM_STACK_INCOMPLETE_SETUP bit, instead of doing that "maybe_stack" thing. We could easily make that initial vma setup very explicit indeed, and then just clear that bit when we've moved the stack to its final position.
