what happens when the kernel stack overflows?

["Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

  as a related thread to the earlier one, is there any protection
against the kernel stack extending downwards until it overruns the
thread_info structure?  i'm skeptical that there's *any* call chain in
kernel code that would suck up that much kernel stack, but i'm just
curious.
