[PATCH] Create initial stack independent of PAGE_SIZE

[Michael Neuling]

Currently we create the initial stack based on the PAGE_SIZE.  This is
unnecessary.  

This creates this initial stack independent of the PAGE_SIZE.

It also bumps up the number of 4k pages allocated from 20 to 32, to
align with 64K page systems.

This is the second half of my original patch. This can be targeted for
2.6.34 as it's just a cleanup.

Tested on PPC64 with 4k and 64k pages.
