While that's true in theory, IRQ_STACK_SIZE is defined as:

| #define IRQ_STACK_SIZE THREAD_SIZE

... which *must* be the case or the overflow detction will either miss
some overflows, or spuriously detect overflows where there are none.

Pleased beware if you are changing this locally.

Regardless of the above, it is best to use the more specific mnemonic,
so:

Acked-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@xxxxxxx>

I'll leave it to Catalin and Will to pick this up.
