No, the problem does not show up with 8k stack size without irqstacks,
and does not show up with 4k stacks with irq stacks, but does show up
with 8k stacks with irqstacks as long as CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER is
enabled. Just disabling it in Ingo's example config makes it work,
and enabling it in my usual test configs makes the boot fail with
similar messages to the one Ingo sees.
