Hi, Dave, Peter

What if we just increase the stack size when ftrace enabled?
I think we can do an unconditional increase. But please first test that
guard page patch :-)

It turns out that a single page of stack is trivial to overflow with
all the tracing gunk enabled. Raise the exception stacks to 2 pages,
which is still half the interrupt stacks, which are at 4 pages.
