Hmm, the mentions I saw elsewhere didn't overstate the issue. Not only
did they ship a 4K stack kernel, but they deliberatly removed the ability
to revert this from their kernel source RPMs.

They knew:

Best easily findable answer:

So you can go for vanilla kernel source, otherwise you have to manually
edit the kernel source RPM, and remove the application of the
"linux-2.6.5-nostack.patch" patch. There have been a couple mentions that
CONFIG_REGPARMS *may* also cause problems.
