[PATCH][ia64][1/2] bugfix stack layout upside-down

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Date: Thu Mar 22 2007 - 23:20:06 EST


ia64 expects following vm layout
==
[register-stack]
[memory-stack]
==
But, when ulimit -s is used and stack-base-address-randomization works,
vm layout is sometimes following.
==
[memory-stack]
[register-stack]
==

If this happens, register-stack cannot be expanded.

This patch fixes this bug by adjusting register-stack.
