If you say Y here and the compiler supports the -mkernel-backchain
- option the kernel will use a smaller kernel stack size. For 31 bit
- the reduced size is 4kb instead of 8kb and for 64 bit it is 8kb
- instead of 16kb. This allows to run more thread on a system and
- reduces the pressure on the memory management for higher order
- page allocations.
