I use a gcc 4.4.0 cross sompiler for all the x86_64 builds. No special
compiler options apart from those provided by the allmodconfig build.
It looks like the compiler gets -Wframe-larger-than=${CONFIG_FRAME_WARN}
passed to it (and presumably CONFIG_FRAME_WARN is 2048).

OK.
That function has a kdb_bp_t on its stack which contains an NR_CPUS array
of pointers. NR_CPUS is 4096 (in this build) and pointers are 8 bytes,
so there is 32K right there :-(
