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 does more harm than good; the warning is going to turn deadly most of 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.

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