In light of this, I'd like to propose that we turn off
DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW in Fedora, at least on x86/4KSTACKS. I think it

the time.
I also had sent a patch to LKML to print whether or not the stack was
overflowing, or had ever overflowed, on a kernel panic. It's not yet
been merged.

in order.
We could turn it off everywhere expect the -debug kernels and
just have XFS + -debug be a 'dont do that' thing.
